OBJECTIVES: The multi-crisis caused by Covid-19 has made health one of the global priorities at all levels, opening our eyes to its importance as one of the most costly and basic pillars of life expectancy worldwide. Its future and management in Europe and globally must be rethinked as a society. The EU has taken its first steps to build a European Health Union and to deal with emergency health situations such as the current pandemic in the future. Calls for greater cooperation and reinforcement of structures at European level, improving data collection and analysis, improving the role of European agencies, and combating latent fragilities in health systems, where there has been a lack of coordination in the management of cross-border threats that they do not understand borders. We need to reflect on the future of health, health and research systems at all levels; increase coordination and cooperation; create more resilient systems; address the lack of supplies of medicines or protective material; human resources management and mobility of professionals; monitoring of hospitals; or protocols for action and coordination in decision-making. PARTICIPANTS: European and Ibero-American experts. SUBJECT MATTER: The pandemic uncovered. The fight and health challenges faced by Covid-19 and other pandemics. The world of animal health. — The current and future role of the European Union in the field of health in a global world. European Health Union Strategy and other innovation and research programmes. Politics and Health. Financing, challenges, action protocols and coordination in decision-making. The future of health, health and research systems at regional, national, European and global levels, including the Ibero-American approach. Coordination and challenges, including economic, of biomedical research. — Coordination, cooperation and management of health systems; Management of hospitals, health supplies, protective elements and medicines and vaccines. Health professionals and human resources management in the health system. Without a doubt, a reflection on such a scale also requires us to address issues that must be addressed when we talk about research, innovation, health, or the development of future strategies and policies in any field, because there is no progress if we do not respond to the great dilemmas that we can face as human beings, and that is why in addition to talking about challenges, policies, management, strategy, research and innovation in the future of health in Europe and in the world, we must also talk about ethics, citizens, human rights, values and how the decisions taken take into account these aspects: Ethics and research, rule of law and health emergency, citizens’ rights to health measures. The course will also take into account that the definition of a new health and health agenda at European and global level has a fundamental support and pillar in the 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals, in several of them, but especially in Goal 3, which aims to ensure a healthy life and promote well-being for all at all ages, while helping us to contribute to this essential agenda for our future.
