During the morning, researchers, communication experts, and institutions will gather to analyze critical issues that have emerged during the pandemic period and to suggest good practices that favor synergy between society, the scientific world, and the media in order to prevent future social and health crises. . In the afternoon, three open-to-all working groups will use social prediction tools to develop proactive strategies related to the themes that emerged during the morning.
