With frightening clarity, the Covid-19 pandemic reminded the world of how quickly a local outbreak can morph into a pandemic, with devastating consequences for people’s health and the world’s economies. And with the escalating climate crisis and increasing population pressure, the risk of similar events will only increase.
But pandemics are not the only global health challenge facing our world. Climate change, pollution, lifestyle diseases and inequality are all factors that intersect to create new global health challenges – and intensify existing ones.
Join us at MatchPoints 2023, where some of the world’s leading experts will guest Aarhus University to discuss global health challenges and solutions within four main themes:
• Pandemics
• Sustainability and Health
• Global Health Inequality
• Mental Health Conditions and Chronic Disease
MatchPoints 2023 is a unique opportunity to join leading researchers and policymakers, politicians, health stakeholders and NGO representatives in an exploration of the major health challenges facing our world and potential strategies for addressing them.
Featured speakers will include:
The two-day academic conference programme will take place in English and will feature keynote talks, roundtable discussions, engaging activities and a total of eight workshops within the four main themes. PhD students and postdocs are invited to submit presentation abstracts.
