Now more than three years since the pandemic began, it is critically important to understand and learn what worked and what did not and assess these measures’ health, social, and economic impact worldwide. Understanding the strengths and weaknesses of these strategies, considering country-specific approaches, is essential to improve the preparedness for future variant-induced waves of infections and new pandemics. 

The COVID-19 pandemic brought innovations in public health, such as genomic surveillance, that could revolutionize the surveillance of pathogens for subsequent pandemics and epidemics. It also sparked a new wave of innovations across clinical care and research. The number of randomized clinical trials (RCTs) performed to evaluate COVID-19 therapeutics and vaccines is stunning and brought a wealth of data to inform clinical decision-making. There is an increased interest in the use of Real-World Evidence (RWE) to supplement RCT evidence and aid in clinical decision-making. Spurred by the pandemic, there is considerable innovation and growth in telemedicine. This tool was invaluable as a means of providing healthcare remotely during the lockdown, but it also highlighted equity issues for populations with limited Internet access. 

This workshop aims to build on this foundation and design long-term solutions to strengthen epidemic preparedness globally. Briefly, this program aims to gather different stakeholders to discuss, raise awareness, synthesize knowledge on the lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic, and rethink clinical care and research through the exchange of scientific evidence from the COVID-19 pandemic.

The program gathers public (health) authorities, epidemiologists, economists, (clinical) scientists, clinicians, and other healthcare professionals to make knowledge available to policymakers worldwide and to design long-term and durable solutions for future pandemics, clinical care, and research.
