Hosted by Simon Fraser University and the Women's Health Research Institute, this symposium examines diversity across disciplines, decades, and distances. This event is open to all students, trainees, and researchers who are interested in women's health research.

This symposium is a great opportunity to support and connect with the exceptional multidisciplinary community of women’s health researchers and trainees at SFU. The research symposium will include presentation panels with researchers from a wide range of disciplines who will be discussing the recent technologies that can improve women’s health, and how gender, public policies, ethics, and laws impact the health of women. WWEST's own Dr. Lesley Shannon is going to be the moderator. 

There will also be a trainee breakfast session and networking lunch to connect with Senior Researchers at SFU.

The panels that will take place are:

  • Panel 1: What’s new in technology that can improve women’s health?    
  • Panel 2: Gender, Policy, Ethics, and the Law
  • Panel 3: Women, representation, and success
