The Wellbeing of Society - Individual Solutions, Digital Approaches, and Environmental Health

Wellbeing is gaining attention across generations as a key priority for healthier societies. Interdisciplinary research offers promising solutions, drawing on insights from sport sciences, education, medicine, sociology, environmental studies, and data science. These advances are helping to prevent communicable and non-communicable diseases, improve digital medicine, and strengthen community health.

This breakthrough forum addresses today’s burning questions on public health which are widely discussed but have not yet been sufficiently researched. To help close the gap, UoS and AGYA are both committed to this field in their research endeavours. This forum opens with keynotes highlighting the latest research findings on health effects of microplastics as well as on artificial intelligence for food security and safety. In a subsequent roundtable session, renowned experts tackle solutions for health and wellbeing, digital health and telemedicine, and waste-to-wealth strategies for environmental health.

The forum concludes with shared results from the roundtable discussions outlining concrete next steps for future partnerships. Afterwards, participants will have the opportunity to see poster exhibitions organised by UoS students. Designed as a platform for knowledge exchange and networking, the forum emphasizes collaboration across disciplines to translate research into meaningful outcomes for public health.

Breakthrough Forums: Get inspired by cutting-edge research driving innovation

Breakthrough Forums provide a structured platform to showcase pioneering research shaped by bold thinking and ambitious questions. Leading scholars from Arab countries and Germany share their latest findings and innovative approaches that advance their fields, generate tangible impact and illustrate the value of collaboration across disciplines. As a catalyst for intellectual exchange, the forums feature formal keynote presentations, dynamic input sessions and moderated discussions to spark new research directions. Participating scholars and students are exposed to novel developments in cutting-edge research and get the chance to meet potential collaborators and mentors with the goal of inspiring future interdisciplinary cooperation.
