Preparedness is not a destination; it is an ongoing practice. A virus outbreak or extreme weather events, like a flood or heatwave, are unfortunately not distant possibilities – they are foreseeable realities.
Science for a prepared world
A prepared world is built on science. Scientific research provides the knowledge, innovations and evidence needed to anticipate and mitigate risks, and inform effective response and recovery strategies. Which lessons from previous crises can guide new and innovative prevention, early warning and response efforts? How do we connect different fields of science with policy, public health and education? What groundbreaking research is shaping the future of preparedness?
Join fellow researchers, policymakers and professionals in preparedness to explore how science for a prepared world can help us meet the challenges of tomorrow.
Programme
The program will be announced at a later time.
Our moderator is dr. Anja Schreijer, PDPC’s Director of Medical Affairs and Public Health Preparedness research.
