The event took place on 29th November 2024 at the prestigious Università IULM, Palazzo Cipolla, in the heart of Rome.
This high-level scientific gathering featured renowned international experts and fostered a critical dialogue on key issues related to pandemic management and research. Among the focal topics in the scientific programme were pandemic surveillance in schools; the effectiveness of the Lolli Method; the use of masks in educational settings and the psychological effects of containment measures on children.
The workshop also integrated perspectives from schools themselves, providing a unique and comprehensive approach to the discussion. It aimed to inspire evidence-based strategies for better preparedness and response to future pandemics, blending insights from science, education, and health policy.
