MatchPoints Conference, Aarhus Universitet

The Covid-19 pandemic has shown how quickly a disease can spread across the globe with devastating consequences for people’s health and the world’s economies. And it’s unlikely to be a one-off. Whilst some infectious diseases are being eradicated, new and unknown diseases are emerging – and many diseases that can be treated in countries with advanced healthcare systems are spreading in parts of the world less able to handle them.
 
The MatchPoints conference ‘Global Health Challenges and Solutions’ will explore topics central to global health today, such as pandemic preparedness, health inequality, climate change and sustainability, chronic disease and mental health – all from a global perspective.
 
Meet leading researchers, PhD students, politicians, health stakeholders and NGO representatives, who, through presentations and debates, will highlight the challenges associated with global health and suggest solutions to overcome them. How can we learn from each other around the world? And how can we create more equal access to healthcare internationally? These are just some of the compelling questions that we will address and discuss with you at MatchPoints 2023.
 
On Saturday 13 May, Aarhus School of Architecture will host Global Health lectures and discussions with TV-journalist Jacob Rosenkrands guiding the audience through a day called "Din, min og verdens sundhed". The event is organized by Aarhus University, Aarhus People’s University and Aarhus Municipality.

ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION: THE INFODEMIC
Per Kirkeby Auditorium

The term ‘infodemic’ refers to the spread of an excess amount of information, including false or misleading information, during a disease outbreak – in either a digital or physical form. This information causes confusion and risk-taking behaviours that can harm people’s health. It also leads to mistrust in the health authorities and undermines public health responses. An infodemic can intensify or lengthen a disease outbreak, because it makes people unsure of the best way to protect their health and the health of those around them. During the COVID-19 pandemic, infodemics led to ’fake news’, suspicion of relevant interventions, and even attacks on scientists. How should misleading information be handled – or censured? What can be done to curb mistrust in the health authorities? How was the COVID-19 pandemic affected by infodemics? And how can we avoid the negative effect of infodemics during future pandemics.
