Topic Tracks

Democracy

As Europe tackles rising populist and autocratic political movements, the need for transparent and participatory policymaking has now become critical. Are fresh and creative approaches to democracy needed to ensure an equitable Europe and to protect fundamental health rights? Sessions in this track will explore how cooperation and social values can continue to shape Europe’s health policies for a resilient and sustainable future for all its citizens. 

Demographics

How can we balance the changing expectations and needs of all generations, the disillusioned, and marginalised? How can we better prepare for unexpected population shifts resulting from migration and external shocks? Our sessions shall present solutions to the healthcare workforce shortage and discuss how Europe’s health systems can be future proofed with sufficient resources to care for an ageing and ever-changing population.  

Digitalisation

Rapid digital developments promise to solve many of Europe’s health challenges, offering effective diagnosis and treatment. As we enter this new territory, does history provide us with a cautionary tale of our faith in innovative technology? In this track, we will examine the ethical concerns of governance, inequity and privacy, in addition to how appropriate technologies can be best adopted and shared across health systems.
