University of Toronto -Tsinghua University Forum: Opening Plenary

University of Toronto and Tsinghua University are among the world’s leading comprehensive research-intensive institutions with a storied history of contributing to the global public good for well over a century.

The 3rd annual forum, to be held in 2020, is taking place against the backdrop of the cataclysmic COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic will leave the world fundamentally transformed even if a successful and accessible vaccine were to reach the market.

While societies in some important areas have retreated from openness, in several other areas societies around the world are experimenting with bold new ideas out of both necessity and or opportunity in preparation for a COVID/post-COVID world.

The forum will examine:

• Individual and societal behavioural patterns in response to the pandemic

• Social determinants of health and health equity impacted by the pandemic

• Technologies and technological innovations that require immediate attention

The deadline to register for both this plenary and the subsequent workshops is 12:00 PM EST on Friday, November 20th.

This page is for registration to the plenary only.
