2024 Interdisciplinary Symposium
The Institute for Pandemics (IfP) held our 2024 Interdisciplinary Symposium, on April 18th at the historic Great Hall of Hart House on the St. George campus of the University of Toronto and online via Zoom.
This year’s theme was “Reimagining Response & Preparedness for future Public Health Emergencies.” Members of the Institute, the university, government, private sector, and community members came together for presentations and discussions around IfP’s themes of pandemic readiness, resilience, recovery, and equity.

The rest of the day consisted of:
- Presentations from invited speakers on pandemic modelling, recovery in cities, and community engagement and trust in health systems
