Covid-19: the beginning, the journey, and the future
In celebration of SRUK’s X anniversary, the Oxford Constituency has organised a mini-symposium about Covid-19 which will take place on Saturday, 14 May, in Oxford.
This event will bring together leading experts encompassing several aspects of the Covid-19 pandemic to search for a deeper understanding of the latter. We aim to create a discussion about the beginning of the pandemic, the journey that we have been through these past couple of years, and the future perspectives of our relationship with Covid-19. With this aim, we will offer several sessions led by experts in the different topics and chairs who will guide interactive conversations with the audience.
