Aletta Research Meet-up

| Where: | Online (Gather Town) |
Topic: Science & Practice: What are the implications of Covid-19 public health research for practice?
Five experts of different disciplines/societal institutions will reflect on how scientific findings can be used for the development of practical policies tackling the COVID-19 pandemics, but also how practical issues can stimulate research.
We will ask them the question: what facts do we have from research and what would be their implication for practice? This question will be answered from an interdisciplinary perspective in five short presentations and will lead to a panel discussion. The speakers will also be available after the event for informal chats in Gather Town.
