The Pandemic and Epidemic Intelligence Innovation Forum

Faced with the unprecedented challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, many individuals and organizations working at the intersection of public health, data science and technology explored innovative ways to support public health decision-making. In early 2022, the WHO Hub for Pandemic and Epidemic Intelligence launched the Pandemic and Epidemic Intelligence Innovation Forum as a space dedicated to promoting idea exchange, coordination, and alignment among diverse stakeholders across these fields. Experts and practitioners from governments, NGOs, foundations, academia and other sectors connect quarterly to share their work with the wider public health intelligence and surveillance community.

The Innovation Forum covers a wide range of topics relevant to pandemic and epidemic intelligence. Participants are invited to suggest topics and speakers that cover key challenges and opportunities in the field. Click on the titles below to access the report of each session.
