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):
1) A curriculum vitae
2) A one-page personal statement
3) A one-page abstract

Deadline: 10 July 2026. Early decision and priority will be given to applications received by this date. Applications received afterwards will most likely be placed on a waitlist following review by the
selection committee. You are very strongly encouraged to submit your application by 10 July.

Financial support: At GAPSY/1 (2025), no participant bore the costs of summer-school attendance personally unless they obtained separate travel funding. We hope to maintain this level of support at GAPSY2 where
budgetary constraints allow. All financial support is subject to the availability of summer-school funds; while we strive to minimise personal costs, we cannot fully guarantee reimbursement of every expense at this time.
