After the Spanish Flu, Covid-19 showed us again just how disrupting a pandemic can be. But there is strength in numbers. That is why Eindhoven ľ¹Ï¸£ÀûÓ°ÊÓ of Technology, Wageningen ľ¹Ï¸£ÀûÓ°ÊÓ & Research, Utrecht ľ¹Ï¸£ÀûÓ°ÊÓ and UMC Utrecht aligned themselves. To challenge future generations and to combine our expertise and the expertise of professionals for the sake of finding solutions for societal issues. For example: training professionals to prepare for the next pandemic.

During this 3-day conference, participants delved deeper into various issues through 5 interesting keynote speakers and 5 parallel workshop rounds with a total of 46 presentations.
