The ISMH regularly organizes international conferences on men's health topics all over the world. Every second year, the ISMH is responsible for the set-up of The World Congress on Men's Health & Gender (WCMH) which is intended to serve as a knowledge transfer forum for practitioners and scientists in the fields of gender-based medicine. The last World Congress on Men's Health has been held in September 2007 in Vienna.
In cooperation with Elsevier, the ISMH publishes journal of men's health (jmh), an international, inter-disciplinary journal offering updates on practise issues, current research and policy matters covering all aspects of men's health. The jmh is a comprehensive, accessible resource of knowledge directly applicable to the daily care of patients, and offers key information and insights about men's health medicineto other healthcare professionals, men's health and other organisations, patient groups and policy makers.
Currently, the ISMH is working on the development of a sophisticated tool for eContinuing Medical Education. With this extensive eLearning-tool, the ISMH approaches its vision to become the first virtual community of physicians interested in gender-based medicine.
The ISMH cooperates with organizations all over the world, among them are, the Austrian Society for Sexual Medicine (ASSM) and the International Men's Health Week.

Famous quotes containing the word activities:
“The interpretation of dreams is the royal road to a knowledge of the unconscious activities of the mind.”
—Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)
“No culture on earth outside of mid-century suburban America has ever deployed one woman per child without simultaneously assigning her such major productive activities as weaving, farming, gathering, temple maintenance, and tent-building. The reason is that full-time, one-on-one child-raising is not good for women or children.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
“There is, I think, no point in the philosophy of progressive education which is sounder than its emphasis upon the importance of the participation of the learner in the formation of the purposes which direct his activities in the learning process, just as there is no defect in traditional education greater than its failure to secure the active cooperation of the pupil in construction of the purposes involved in his studying.”
—John Dewey (1859–1952)
