Scientific Programme

Secure Places: Healthy Communities in an Uncertain World (Health in Living Contexts: Urban & Rural Health)

This track explores how our physical, social, and built environments shape human health and well-being. By examining how living spaces can be designed to resist modern vulnerabilities, this track aims to uncover strategies for building equitable, health-promoting, and secure communities for all.

Secure Planet: Health within Resilient Ecosystems (Sustainability & Biodiversity)

This track examines the unbreakable link between the health of our planet and the health of its inhabitants. Humanity faces unprecedented environmental challenges, making it critical to understand how biodiversity loss, climate change, and ecosystem degradation impact global health. This track seeks to highlight innovative solutions that preserve natural ecosystems while securing a healthier, more sustainable future for generations to come.

Secure Societies: Preparedness for Shocks and Crises (Resilience & Disaster Preparedness)

This track focuses on the mechanisms, policies, and frameworks required to anticipate, withstand, and recover from systemic shocks. The goal of this track is to foster interdisciplinary insights that transform vulnerable populations into highly adaptable, disaster-resilient societies.

Secure Technologies: Trust, AI and Health in the Digital Age (Digital Health, AI & Medical Technology)

This track delves into the intersection of cutting-edge technology, artificial intelligence, and healthcare delivery. Key areas of interest include machine learning in diagnostics, telemedicine, wearable medical devices, data privacy, and ethical AI implementation. Research should focus not only on technological breakthroughs but also on establishing data security and public trust, ensuring that the digital transformation of healthcare remains safe, transparent, and patient-centred.
