ASPHER's Digital Public Health Task Force was established in spring 2023. We aim to support the schools of public health in navigating digital transformations, both in terms of changes to our discipline and how public health education is delivered.
Our mid-term strategy includes four areas of activity: assessing training needs in the existing workforce, mapping existing educational offerings in digital (public health) skills, suggesting updates to public health curricula, and exploring certification.
The task force meets every third Tuesday of the month at 16:00 CET. The academic year 2024-25 meetings will take place on November 19th, December 17th, January 21st, February 18th, March 18th, April 15th, May 20th, June 17th and July 15th.
If you are interested in participating, please reach out to the task force chair, Rok Hrzic (r.hrzic@maastrichtuniversity.nl).
