‘Secrets of Health Protection’

In the modern world, women are driving improvements in healthcare and support for public health. They work hard at various levels to develop advanced health-preserving technologies by combining the best developments and innovations, successful organizational models, and promising social projects into a single system that aims to strengthen public health and improve people’s quality of life. Women are implementing their own social initiatives, which are becoming an essential addition to healthcare modernization programmes.

What role do women play in the development of advanced health-preserving technologies? How can we bolster the synergy of women who manage projects to further develop healthcare? How can we effectively introduce and scale innovative initiatives and solutions that aim to improve healthcare and promote public health?

Women: Working Together for a Healthy Society. Collaboration without Borders

Modern healthcare is focused on innovative development that can create more and more opportunities to combat life-threatening diseases and increase human life expectancy. The ability of healthcare systems to reliably protect the health and well-being of citizens depends on how effectively mechanisms of international cooperation are created in the processes of integrating innovative technologies and unique advanced approaches to establish flexible and sustainable healthcare systems.

How can we unite the efforts of the international community in order to preserve the health of nations? What are the priority areas where bridges of long-term mutually beneficial cooperation need to be built? What examples of the effective international introduction of innovation can be scaled up in the practice of other countries? What areas of medicine and medical services are the most promising on the agenda of medical tourism today, and what successful practices for their incorporation can create a foundation for international cooperation? What role do women play in improving global health policies? How are women who work in the healthcare sector influencing the creation of a healthy society in Russia and abroad?

International Mentoring Experience: Traditional Approaches and Modern Trends

Mentoring is becoming increasingly popular in educational, scientific, corporate, and family environments. Modern mentoring is characterized not only by the transfer of knowledge and professional skills, but also by the imparting of values, from experienced specialists to the younger generation. This system of training and support strengthens internal corporate relationships and creates a special company culture. Research shows that employees who have worked under a mentor are promoted five times more often; mentors are promoted six times more often; staff turnover drops by 10%; training costs are reduced by 15%; and productivity increases. The practice of mentoring varies from country to country and reflects the cultural and social characteristics of each, which brings unique features to this large and complex process.

What trends dominate the development of modern mentoring? How should mentors be chosen? And what company- and industry-specific training should they through to prepare them properly for the role? How can the effectiveness of so-called “reverse” mentoring be improved? How does mentoring influence the development of SMEs in different countries? What opportunities does it open up for people just setting out on their professional careers? What are the cultural characteristics of mentoring and its impact on social institutions? What monitoring practices can be implemented universally across countries? What role do women play in mentoring?

Awareness as a Guarantee of Health and Social Welfare

One of the most important components of a healthcare policy is to increase awareness among patients about health issues and preventive methods, and to create a culture where people look after their health.

Awareness of health issues and how to protect one’s health requires a certain level of knowledge, which means that information needs to be available about the state of modern medicine and innovations in medicine, including molecular genetic testing, IVF, vaccination against oncological diseases, and the ability to use radiopharmaceuticals for fatal diseases.

What are the current strategies for increasing public awareness and literacy about the need for preventive health measures and their current capabilities? How can women opinion leaders in different countries contribute to this process? What successful practices should be applied globally? How can we motivate people to take preventive health measures at different stages of their lives? At what age should parents, as well as public and private institutions (kindergarten and school) introduce children to the basics of preventive health measures? How can we alter the patient’s role and make them a ‘partner’ for doctors during treatment? Does awareness help to deal with serious illnesses more easily? What should a doctor’s strategy be in such cases: concealing information or vice versa?

Trends in Longevity Medicine

Living until the age of 120 is becoming a reality today. Modern medicine, in response to the main trends in healthy life expectancy, already offers numerous innovative solutions for prolonging the active lifespan of the individual, many of which are becoming increasingly accessible in practice. However, the possibility of living a long and healthy life largely depends on the individual – leading a healthy lifestyle and following healthy habits are the key prerequisites to prolonging life now and improving its quality. The active longevity agenda in Russia is reflected in new national projects to achieve the goal of “preserving and improving the health of the population,” which is being formed with the active participation of women.

What global trends shape the development of longevity medicine and what achievements in this area are capable of significantly slowing down the aging process today? What developments in other countries can accelerate the attainment of a long and active life? Have modern science and medicine hinted at future solutions that could radically prolong youth? What knowledge about our health, and what health preservation and longevity technologies, can help women remain active and healthy for years? How can we make this knowledge and technology accessible?

How to Increase Women's Interest in Professional Development at the Workplace?

The latest data shows that the number of industries and positions that were previously inaccessible for women has plummeted by almost 80%, which indicates there are new opportunities for both job seekers and employers. Today, modern working conditions are fundamentally different from traditional ideas. Industrial enterprises are fitted with high-tech equipment, workshops are kept clean and comfortable, and production processes are increasingly automated. Corporate programmes for women also play a key role in enhancing the appeal of manufacturing jobs. Women working in manufacturing offer unique perspectives, demonstrate excellent communication and problem-solving skills, and pay close attention to detail.

How can we make manufacturing jobs more attractive and prestigious for women and young people? What factors should be taken into account when creating new jobs for women in manufacturing? What role do professional women’s communities play in modern industries? What are some potential ways to develop and improve the education and training system? What new opportunities are digital technologies creating for women? What corporate programmes for women are the most effective? What role does international cooperation play in facilitating the professional and personal development of company leaders?

Roundtable

Global Biomedical Technologies: The Contribution of Women Scientists

The 20th and 21st centuries have been distinguished by the active use of biomedical technologies in diagnostics and treatment, including severe and socially significant diseases. Biomedical technologies are among the most important strategic focuses of modern medicine, and women have made a major contribution to its development. Russian women occupy an honourable seat in the history of medicine thanks to their creation of a vaccine against plague, numerous antibiotics, and the development of monoclonal antibodies, which are widely used to treat oncological diseases. Women really shined during the pandemic, as they were the first and central participants in numerous studies and developments. A number of scientific breakthroughs have been achieved thanks to global cooperation.

What role do domestic and global developments in biomedicine play in protecting people’s health and increasing their life expectancy? How does the legal framework affect the use of biotechnology? How can we stimulate the development of research potential and critical thinking among young female scientists? What barriers do female scientists face in their careers? How can we expand opportunities for women in science? What strategies could be used to encourage female leadership in biology and medicine?

Women Scientists: Leaders in Science and Education

Women scientists make an enormous contribution to science. Their research in medicine, natural sciences, technology, mathematics, and other fields has in many ways changed the modern world and our knowledge about it. Almost a third of all female Nobel laureates have received this prestigious award in the 21st century. This is further evidence of women’s vast scientific potential, which is now being more fully unleashed due to the active efforts of different countries to enhance women’s role in the modern world.

How can we expand the involvement of women scientists in developing and intensifying international scientific and humanitarian cooperation? What successful practices can different countries replicate to enhance the attractiveness of a scientific career for young women researchers? How can we boost the role of female science and education leaders in popularizing science and developing human resources? What government and corporate practices can be used to create favourable conditions to combine women’s traditional family responsibilities with a scientific career?

Women’s Judo. A 40-Year Path of Victory

Entrance by invitation only

Women’s judo is a relatively new sport that began actively developing around the world and in Russia in the 1980s. In 1984, 40 years ago, the Soviet Union adopted a decree to develop judo among women. In the same year, the first All-Union Women’s Judo Tournament was held. Over the past 40 years, this sport, which in addition to physical training also includes training in resuscitation techniques, as well as philosophical and moral components, has become extremely popular among women in Russia. Russian athletes have repeatedly stood atop the sports podiums of major international competitions and various Olympics.

As part of the event, prominent Russian judokas and foreign guests will share their stories of victory and talk about what their lives are like today, as well as their plans are for the future.

Women in the Pharmaceutical Industry: A policy of trust

The modern world is facing numerous new challenges in the healthcare sector. Pandemics, aging populations, an increase in the number of chronic diseases, and vast public demand for new active longevity technologies are creating all kinds of new problems for the pharmaceutical industry.

The role and contribution of women to the development of the pharmaceutical industry is invaluable. Women managers, scientists, and pharmaceutical company specialists are largely the ones who determine how this industry is developing, as well as its ability to respond to the needs of society. They pay special attention to cooperation and technological developments that could serve as the basis for the development of international cooperation.

With this in mind, the participants of the third Eurasian Women’s Forum decided to create a special project of the Council of the Eurasian Women’s Forum called ‘Women in the Pharmaceutical Industry’. The project participants and international experts will discuss the key drivers of the industry’s development and outline the challenges facing the pharmaceutical industry, as well as ways to boost trust in innovative health preservation technologies. What role do women play in the agenda of healthcare development, the pharmaceutical industry, and ensuring drug sovereignty? What initiatives bring women leaders together in these areas? What has already been done in response to the current challenges?

Corporate Social Support Programmes for Women: New Approaches and Technologies

Several studies show that teams made up of men and women of different ages make more effective business decisions and respond better to new challenges. They are creative and better equipped to develop innovations. This is especially important at the corporate management level. A balance of men and women in management increases profitability. Investing effectively in the professional growth of women ensures sustainable economic growth – not only for business, but for the state too. And this is encouraging corporations to more actively seek new ways to attract women.

What trends aimed at promoting the interests of women are being implemented in corporate programmes at the state level in Russia and around the world? What best practices did the “Women Leaders” competition run by the Council of Eurasian Women’s Forum help to identify? Can they be replicated to any meaningful degree? What HR policy trends can be identified today? How do social programmes aimed at preserving the institution of the family work?

Women’s Mission: From Motherhood to Benefiting the World

Women perform key duties in numerous parts of society: they take part in peacekeeping missions and protect people’s rights. Special attention should be paid to women who serve their country and work as doctors, field radio operators, translators, and engravers of topographic maps, among other professions. Even though they are extremely busy, they skilfully combine impressive results in their professional activities with motherhood and family responsibilities.

How does women’s involvement in peacekeeping processes affect the level and quality of the protection of the civilian population? Why is a balance between family and work so important for a modern woman? What state support measures for women who serve their country are crucial for those who combine professional and family responsibilities (Russian and international experience)? What role do family dynasties play in choosing a profession?

Social projects as a driver of development

Social projects are a noticeable phenomenon in society, influencing not only the quality of life of citizens, but also their worldview. Every year the number of projects grows, and the projects become more and more large-scale. According to some estimates, more than 70 per cent of the authors of social projects are women. For many, this is a new opportunity for self-realisation and self-development, even a kind of social lift.

How do social projects change the world? How does their implementation affect the level of mutual trust in society? With the help of what tools to develop and increase the effectiveness of social projects? How can communities and partnerships of social institutions and businesses support social projects at different stages of their life cycle?
