Oslo Meetings for Genetics and Social Sciences (OMGSS) is an interdisciplinary forum open to researchers in genetics (quantitative, molecular) and/or social sciences (psychology, sociology, demography, economics) and beyond. We aim to foster knowledge exchange between disciplines, increase collaboration, and develop practical skills and resources. 

The PROMENTA Genetics Network is hosting this one day science communication event, featuring two London based guest speakers. 

The mission of the Centre for Global Health Inequalities Research (CHAIN) is to create a global transformation in actionable health inequalities research. Bringing together leading scholars and international organizations and acting as a change agent, researchers at CHAIN aim to monitor, explain, and reduce health inequalities in the global North and South. 

I juni 2019 lanserte Lifebrain og Hjernerådet den globale hjernehelseundersøkelsen på et møte nettopp på Litteraturhuset i Oslo. Hensikten med undersøkelsen var å finne ut hva folk tenker om hjernehelse. Seniorforsker Isabelle B. Ljøsne ønsket seg 1000 svar på undersøkelsen. Da undersøkelsen ble lukket i august 2020, var det kommet inn 27 090 svar fra 81 forskjellige land. Det var overveldende. Nå er de første resultatene klare og kan leses i rapporten "How to promote people`s brain health. Disse vil bli presentert på Litteraturhuset 28. september.

In recent years, scientists like Kathryn Paige Harden have shown that DNA makes us different, in our personalities and in our health—and in ways that matter for educational and economic success in our current society.

Professor in cognitive neuropsychology Bruno Laeng at RITMO will give a talk on musical synaesthesia. 

Although ubiquitous globally, psychotic disorders show strong social gradients by both individual attributes and geographical region, established via ground-breaking psychiatric epidemiology beginning in the U.S. and subsequently exported to Europe and beyond. Despite almost a century of research on this topic, persistent inequalities in the risk of psychotic disorders by both person and place remain, with potentially vital implications for etiology, public health and service provision.

Mapping the heterogeneity of responses to potential trauma.

Opportunities and challenges for research into the social determinants of health and health disparities

Norsk narkotikapolitikk er i radikal endring. Bruk og besittelse av narkotika blir snart avkriminalisert. De såkalte «brukerorganisasjonene», som består av folk med egne erfaringer med skadelig rusbruk, spiller en stadig viktigere rolle i denne prosessen. PROMENTA-partnerne ved Institutt for sosiologi og samfunnsgeografi belyser dette, blant annet med basis i teori om såkalte «lay experts» og deres rolle i politikkutviklingen. 

Happiness and well-being have emerged as important study subjects within and across many fields of research. A major driving force behind this is the association with physical and mental health and its pivotal role in socioeconomic issues and economic development. With the increased interest in the importance of well-being it is critically important to understand and reveal sources of individual differences.
