Four ways in
Join the network
The Charter belongs to everyone working on women's health in the Nordics. There are four ways to be part of it, and one of them requires nothing from you at all.
No application, no listing
Use the Charter, stay updated
The Charter and the Implementation Playbook are open commons, published under CC BY 4.0. Cite them, display them, position your work inside them, or build on them. No permission, no form, no listing required.
Any person or institution may do this. It is the floor beneath everything else on this page, and it is not a lesser option — the framework was written to be used, not to be joined.
We also track what moves in Nordic women's health — the research, the policy, the care, and who is funding it. That goes out as the Intelligence Brief, free, every two weeks.
Individuals
Add your name to the Charter
“By 2040, every woman in the Nordics lives in a society where health is a birthright, not a benefit, anticipated, equitable, and seamlessly woven into everyday life.”
That is the vision. 136+ experts across five Nordic countries defined it. The Playbook names the 28 needs which, if met, make it real.
This is not a petition. We are not asking governments for anything, and we are not asking anything of you. Adding your name is agreement with the vision. It commits no budget, no mandate, and none of your time.
Individuals
Become an Ambassador
People whose own work visibly moves women's health towards the 2040 vision, in research, care, innovation, funding, policy, data, education or awareness, and who carry the Charter into the networks they reach. We look for a public track record: something you have built, published, led, taught or changed.
Ambassadors carry the shared vision. The role is not a platform for promoting a company, a product or a fundraising round.
There is no minimum commitment and nothing to report. There is no central organisation assigning tasks.
We provide the slides, the one-pager and the framework, two network calls a year, and a profile on the Network page.
We review every application, for relevance to Nordic women's health and for the networks you can reach.
About two minutes.
Organisations
Become a Partner Organisation
Organisations that visibly contribute to women's health through research, care, innovation, funding, policy or data, or that drive education and awareness. Visible means something anyone can find: a study, a service, a product in use or approved, a funding call, a policy position, a data or standards initiative, or an education or awareness programme with women's health as a named focus. Share one link that shows it when you apply.
A listing recognises a contribution. It is not an endorsement of products or services.
Organisations displaying the Charter are listed on the Network page with their logo, a description, and a link. In return we ask that the Charter appears somewhere you publish — a page, a post, a newsletter, or a citation.
No fees, no contract, no reporting. Either side can step back at any time. We review requests for alignment with the Charter's evidence-led scope.
The Charter's scope is Nordic; its use is not. Organisations outside the Nordics are welcome to apply.
Not there yet? Join as a supporter, and apply again when the work is public.
About two minutes.
How we review
The basis is written down so that a decision is never a negotiation.
| Tier | Basis for review | Turnaround and listing |
|---|---|---|
| Supporter | Spam and obvious bad faith only | Confirm by emailListed weekly |
| Ambassador | Relevance to Nordic women's health; the networks the applicant can reach | usually within two weeks |
| Partner Organisation | Alignment with the Charter's evidence-led scope | usually within two weeks |
Everyone gets an answer, either way. A review that ends in silence is not a review, so we write back whether or not we go ahead.
We do not move anyone to a tier they did not choose. If we decline an application, that is all it is — unless you told us on the form that a Supporter listing would be welcome instead. There is a route out in every email we send, and we act on it the same week — well inside the month the GDPR allows.
