The summit takes place from October 25th to 26th at Bella Center Copenhagen located in the eastmost part of Copenhagen (K?benhavn S).
PandemiX involvement
The Covid-19 pandemic disrupted daily life globally and brought with it a renewed focus on health data science and epidemiology. The challenges of the pandemic necessitated vast collection and analysis of data, as well as novel ideas for reducing infections and the pressure on medical institutions.
At the PandemiX research center at Roskilde University, an interdisciplinary approach to epidemiology is used to investigate contemporary and historical pandemics, using insight from a multitude of scientific fields ranging from microbiology to mathematics and physics.
PandemiX researchers will contribute to the discussion through a session at the second day of the summit (October 26th) on how we can prepare for future pandemics while reflecting on their experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic.
