Digital tools have proven their potential for aiding the public health response to infectious disease emergencies,
but current gaps in research, operations, governance and co-ordination present key challenges for their role in pandemic preparedness.
The aims of the DPP 2026 workshop were to share knowledge and expertise across a broad range of disciplines,
towards developing a community-led blueprint for digital pandemic preparedness.
The event was organised by the Oxford Martin School's programme on Digital Pandemic Preparedness,
a multi-disciplinary research group working alongside Public Health Agencies and technology experts to develop the next generation of pandemic-ready digital tools.
There were lots of opportunities for discussion and a variety of talks from our guest speakers:
The Oxford Martin School can be found on the corner of Holywell and Catte Streets in central Oxford.
