The ESC Gender Policy was created to tackle systemic biases and institutional barriers that limit women’s full and equal participation within the ESC, and more widely in the field of cardiovascular medicine and science. Our commitment is to foster a community where everyone has the opportunity to contribute and be represented.
Developed under the guidance of Prof. Stephan Achenbach, ESC President 2020-2022, and led by Prof. Irene Lang and Prof. Stephan Windecker, this policy reflects the dedicated work of our 2020-2022 Task Force Members: Dr. Margarita Brida, Prof. Julie De Backer, Prof. Marc Dweck, Dr. Tom De Potter, Prof. Catherine Gebhardt, Prof. Alessia Gimelli, Prof. John J V McMurray, and Prof. Tanja Rudolph.
The ESC Gender Task Force oversees the implementation of the ESC Gender Policy.
