How do we prepare our societies against future pandemics while improving and ensuring healthcare access to all?

Thank you for joining the "Global Health Ideathon 2021"!

We hope that this will become a three-week journey where you can meet students from all over the world, and discuss how we can better prepare against future pandemics, and what we ourselves can do to help.

Through this process, we will be selecting teams that come up with innovative projects, which we will then support to see how far they can be realized.

Let the ideating begin!
