Watch this Keynote Lecture on YouTube!

Based on the need felt by both institutions to engage in the joint search for sustainable and transformative ways out of the crisis in its different dimensions, the EU-LAC Foundation and the Latin American Studies Programme of the University of Hamburg have developed, throughout 2021, a series of virtual Keynote Lectures under the title “The COVID-19 Crisis and Pathways to Sustainable Recovery in the European Union, Latin America and the Caribbean”.

With this series of lectures, the EU-LAC Foundation and the Latin American Studies Programme of the University of Hamburg want to contribute to the generation of knowledge and the exchange between scientists, civil society actors, public officials and decision-makers on concepts, best practices and public policies that have been developed in Latin American, Caribbean and European countries to promote a “better” and sustainable recovery of the sectors and areas that have been particularly affected by the pandemic.

The Keynote Lecture series will consist of 6 virtual sessions, and each Keynote Lecture will focus on a particular area, such as, for example, public health systems, educational institutions, the economic sector, gender relations, urban development, environmental protection, or groups in situations of particular vulnerability and social minorities. This sixth session will focus on "Sustainable recovery of public health systems" with two presentations by Dr Paula Caffarena Barcenilla (Director of Research and Documentation Centre (CIDOC) Faculty of Humanities and Communications, Finis Terrae University, Santiago, Chile) and Sabrina Montante (ISS National Institute of Health of Italy, To-Reach Project Coordinator, Belgium).
