A Laboratory for Collaboration: Leveraging Diversity for Better Decision-Making

March 21, 2024 6pm CET

The seventh installment of the WHO Hub’s Speaker Series is co-hosted with the Charité Center for Global Health and will be an integral part of the Collaboratory Summit 2024. The Collaboratory is an initiative of the WHO Hub for Pandemic and Epidemic Intelligence and aims to establish a digital environment where the pandemic and epidemic intelligence community can convene to address critical challenges that affect the way data is accessed, analyzed, visualized, and communicated for pandemic and epidemic policy and response decision-making.

Chief Data and Technology Officer Dr. Uyi Stewart joins this Speaker Series N°7 session that focuses on exploring how to leverage diversity in pandemic and epidemic intelligence to support better public health decision-making. From engaging marginalized communities to enabling multi-disciplinary collaborations, from fostering cross-sector partnerships to embracing regional and country context diversities, this session will convene a diverse set of public health professionals, academics, epidemiologists, data scientists, developers, modelers, and policymakers globally to unpack existing bottlenecks, share good practices and learnings, and explore potential opportunities and pathways that will help enhance the diversity in pandemic and epidemic intelligence so we can be collectively better prepared for future public health emergencies.
