While the devastating health, social and economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic are still unfolding, other viruses with pandemic potential are on the horizon, posing new challenges that mankind will have to confront in the near future. How to get ready for the threat of future viral pandemics is the topic of the international conference “Viral Emergencies: New Challenges Ahead”. This conference is part of a series entitled "The Future of Humanity" organized by the Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei to promote the public perception of the problem and the dialogue between experts from different backgrounds and interests.
This conference will bring together experts from Academia, Industry, Health Organizations and National Agencies, to: i) define the landscape of emerging and re-emerging viral pathogens; ii) outline key outstanding questions associated with emerging viral diseases, including the damaging effects of infodemics and misinformation; iii) discuss new therapeutic strategies, emphasizing the potential of breakthrough technologies; and iv) delineate the present state of pandemic preparedness. As recently stated by the WHO: "Pandemic preparedness is not only a health imperative; it is a moral and economic necessity that requires collaboration and commitment across all sectors".
