  • Hello,

    My name is Christina Fahmy, and I hold a Master’s degree in Healthy Aging and Rehabilitation. I am interested in pursuing a PhD in Germany, but I do not yet know a potential supervisor.

    My research interests lie at the intersection of climate change, aging, and health, particularly from a social and cultural perspective. I would be very grateful for any recommendations of professors, research groups, or departments in Germany working in this area.

    Thank you very much for your help...

    Hello. I am new here and would love to be part of the mental health and women's health groups. I am PhD student researching biosocial effects on women and gender-diverse people's brain and mental health at Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences in Leipzig. Through my journey of calling different places home I value global and international perspectives and efforts.

    I am conducting a citizen science mixed-methods study with participatory research steps during the My Body, My Brain, My Choices workshop (Hannover, September 17-19th) on taboos in women's and gender-diverse mental health. I would be grateful if you could share your insights and to others who might be interested in contributing or advise on other organizations I could reach out to.

    Supporting Citizen Science Research: Taboos in Women and Gender-diverse People's Health
    Despite scientific and medical advancements, women's health continues to be affected by stigmatization, misinformation, and political underrepresentation. We firmly believe: "Women and gender diverse people’s health is more than reproductive health."
    We seek to understand and formulate ways to break down taboos surrounding women and gender diverse people's mental and neurological health in research and clinical settings. Please feel invited to fill out the short, anonymous survey with just two questions on your experience with taboos. Whether you are a clinician, researcher, or bring lived experience, your contribution will directly inform research priorities and a women's health platform.

    Hallo zusammen,

    im Rahmen meiner Arbeit beim International Rescue Committee (IRC) möchte ich zwei Projektkonzepte vorstellen, die wir als Antwort auf die unten aufgeführten Horizon-Europe-Ausschreibungen im Bereich Bildung entwickelt haben. Dafür suchen wir Universitäten oder Forschungspartner*innen, die entweder ein Konsortium zu einer unserer Projektideen leiten oder an einer ähnlichen Initiative mitarbeiten möchten, in die Elemente unserer Konzepte integriert werden können.

    Die Horizon-Europe-Ausschreibungen, an denen wir interessiert sind:

    🔹 HORIZON-CL2-2025-01-TRANSFO-07
    Auswirkungen der Lernumgebung und der Nutzung digitaler Tools im Alltag auf die Entwicklung von Schlüsselqualifikationen und Kompetenzen
    Projektidee: Untersuchung der akademischen und sozial-emotionalen Auswirkungen des digitalen Lernens über die All-Ukrainian Online School (AOS) auf geflüchtete Kinder aus der Ukraine in Polen, Deutschland, Italien, Griechenland und Großbritannien.

    🔹 HORIZON-CL2-2025-01-TRANSFO-06
    Bewertung und Nutzung von Evidenz in der Bildungspolitik und -praxis
    Projektidee: Analyse der Nutzung von Evidenz in der beruflichen Weiterbildung von Lehrkräften in Deutschland, dem Vereinigten Königreich, Italien und Polen – mit besonderem Fokus auf den Übergang neuzugewanderter Schüler*innen.

    Was wir als IRC einbringen können:
    Dank unseres Netzwerks von Büros, Programmen und Partnern in ganz Europa ist das IRC gut aufgestellt, um Forschung zu diesen Themen aktiv zu unterstützen. Derzeit setzen wir in mehreren Ländern Fortbildungen für Lehrkräfte um, basierend auf unserem evidenzbasierten Healing Classrooms-Ansatz (HC). Dieser unterstützt Pädagog*innen bei der Schaffung stabilisierender und inklusiver Lernumgebungen. HC stellt eine vielversprechende Fallstudie dar, um zu untersuchen, wie evidenzbasierte Weiterbildung gestaltet sein kann – und wie Erkenntnisse in Bildungspolitik und -praxis einfließen (oder nicht).

    Zudem verfügen wir über umfangreiche Erfahrung in der Zusammenarbeit mit (in)formellen Bildungseinrichtungen und Pädagog*innen, die mit Kindern aus der Ukraine arbeiten, die an der AOS teilnehmen.

    Wir suchen Partnerinstitutionen, die folgende Rollen übernehmen können:

    • Leitung des Konsortiums und der Antragstellung,
    • Leitung der Forschungskonzeption und -durchführung unter Sicherstellung methodischer Stringenz
    und politischer Relevanz,
    • Koordinierung der länderübergreifende Analyse, und
    • Mit-Erstellung und -Veröffentlichung der politischen und akademischen Ergebnisse

    Wenn ihr Interesse habt oder die Ideen spannend findet, freue ich mich sehr über eine Rückmeldung. Gerne kläre ich in einem kurzen Telefonat, wie eine Zusammenarbeit konkret aussehen könnte. Auch Tipps oder Hinweise auf passende Kontakte sind natürlich sehr willkommen!

    Auch Tipps oder Hinweise auf passende Kontakte sind sehr willkommen und geschätzt!

    Viele Grüße
    Majdi Laktinah

    📢 New Resources on Decolonial Approaches in Global Health! 🌍📚

    Decolonising global health is a lifelong journey, but taking action starts now! 🚀 A group of early-career researchers from Bielefeld University has developed practical resources to support others in tackling colonial legacies in research, teaching, and institutions.

    These materials were created following the "Developing a Decolonial Lens in the German Global Health Research Context" training, funded by GLOHRA & BMBF. They provide:
    🔹 A facilitator’s manual for organising decolonial trainings
    🔹 Insights on allyship & structural change in global health
    🔹 Tools for critical reflection & action

    💡 All resources are open-access—explore them, adapt them, and share your feedback! Let’s work together to dismantle power imbalances in global health. ✊🌏

    👉 Check them out & get in touch!

I studied at the University of Leeds in the UK, I was surprised to find a lot of relevant research in the University Library about my country, Malawi which was not available here. It meant that the research recommendations did not support Malawi in policy and decision-making processes. It is also difficult for local research organizations in LMICs to secure funding which in the opinion of many would be more relevant and applicable to local contexts. Establishing and sustaining effective partnerships on research between HICs and LMICs is one of the ways to strengthen the capacity of the latter. Another experience is that funding for health systems research in LMICs is overlooked when compared to resources for clinical research. Yet we are aware that for clinical research recommendations to be effectively implementable requires functioning health systems. These practices are biased and have colonial backgrounds.  More ...

    We read a lot about international support that is going into Ukraine to restore broken health systems including the provision of mental health services. It would be ideal to learn about the social groups that are most affected by the war and the differentiated model of mental services that is being provided. The analysis can be conducted in all countries where there are conflicts to help the development of a standard package of interventions that can be adapted to suit specific situations.
    • Hey Austin,

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts with the Hub Community. It's important to consider vulnerable groups in conflict settings and toHey Austin,

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts with the Hub Community. It's important to consider vulnerable groups in conflict settings and to develop tailored approaches for different conflict areas.

      You can get in contact with the Community Manager of the Hub Community on Global Mental Health to learn more about their work, especially in relation to the Hub's annual Community Theme on Global Health in Conflict Settings. All Hub Communities have the opportunity to contribute to the poster session at the Global Health Talk in December.
