The Canadian Organization for Gender and Sex Research (COGS) is hosting our 3rd International COGS Meeting which will bring together researchers, clinicians, policymakers, and community leaders from across the globe to explore the theme Sex, Gender and Health: Catalyzing Change in an Evolving World. This meeting is a unique forum for advancing cutting-edge science while fostering collaboration across disciplines, sectors, and borders.

At the heart of this theme is recognition that our world is rapidly transforming through technological innovation, shifting sociopolitical landscapes, climate change, and more. These evolving realities influence health in profound ways and demand that we examine how sex and gender intersect with these forces to address inequities and create opportunities for improved health for all.

The program will showcase emerging evidence, innovative methodologies, and real-world applications that address inequities and improve outcomes for diverse populations. Beyond knowledge exchange, the conference is designed to catalyze action—sparking new partnerships, strengthening research capacity, and equipping attendees with tools to embed sex, gender, and health equity into every facet of their work. Together, we will chart a course for a healthier, more inclusive future in an evolving world.
