Partnership at Lugano al Femminile 2026

We are pleased to announce a new partnership with the City of Lugano as part of Lugano al Femminile 2026, a week dedicated to awareness, dialogue, and the empowerment of women through culture, science, and institutional engagement.

As part of this collaboration, the Women’s Brain Foundation will contribute two scientific and public awareness events during the week, bringing evidence-based perspectives on women’s brain and mental health to the community.

02 March 2026 — Online scientific talk
Delivered within the framework of Lugano al Femminile, this intervention will focus on the neuroscience of the female brain, exploring how biological sex and gender influence brain health and mental well-being.

The event will also contribute to broader awareness and fundraising efforts supporting the Women’s Brain Foundation’s mission and ongoing research.

10 March 2026 — Public event on gender-based violence (in person)
Held at LAC Lugano, this event will address the neurological and mental health consequences of gender-based violence, highlighting the long-term impact of physical and psychological trauma on brain health.

The initiative aims to raise awareness and foster informed dialogue on a critical societal issue, grounded in scientific evidence.

Through this partnership, the Women’s Brain Foundation and the Città di Lugano reaffirm their shared commitment to advancing gender-informed science, promoting mental health awareness, and supporting initiatives that generate lasting social impact.
