The online taster event is taking place in advance of a full International Conference on Knowledge Exchange in Public Health on 15-16 June 2022 in Newcastle. The online event will bring together a panel of international experts to reflect on knowledge exchange responses in public health during the Covid-19 pandemic and to share expertise on this.
While the evidence base on successful practices in knowledge exchange is growing rapidly, the Covid-19 pandemic presented unprecedented global challenges, which will undoubtedly impact on the future of knowledge exchange in public health. We hope to address the complex challenges faced during the pandemic, what we have learned about knowledge exchange, and how we can use this knowledge to improve research and practices in the future.
The event will be an opportunity to meet other participants, members of the planning groups and share your knowledge exchange experiences over the last year, in preparation for the full conference next year.
