Dear Colleagues

We are pleased to announce the second Bridging the Gender Data Gap in Mental Health Summer School (GAPSY2), funded by the Bundesministerium für Forschung, Technologie und Raumfahrt (BMFTR). The summer school will take place 5-8 October 2026 in Tübingen and is aimed at early-career researchers, young mental health and neuroscience researchers, and clinician-scientists in training. We intend to host participants from around the world and aim to provide travel bursaries for those in financial need.

WHY DOES IT MATTER?
The gender data gap is not a "women's issue" — it is an everyone issue.
It is a scientific crisis that leads to ineffective treatments for everyone. By bringing together students, clinicians, researchers, and expert faculty we can build a more accurate model of human mental and neurological health. Your perspective, enthusiasm, and participation are vital.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
We welcome applicants of all backgrounds and gender identities [including men, non-binary individuals, and women] with a connection to neuroscience, mental health, psychology, or clinical medicine/psychology, and a demonstrated interest in sex and gender differences as they relate to research and personalised therapy.

APPLICATION DETAILS
To apply, submit the following via the online application form (see full instructions on the information website):
