DPH 2025 main themes include: 

• Disease Surveillance and Pandemic Preparedness
• Digital Technology for Training and Behaviour Change
• Emerging Technology and Public Health 
• Digital Systems and Data Governance 
• Public Health Challenges

We invite proposals for workshops, tutorials and panels to be held at DPH 2025 

The DPH 2025 will accommodate a set of collocated workshops covering relevant cutting edge topics, experiment with novel interactive formats and expand the audience participating in the event. 

Workshops and tutorials will be held on Day 1 of the conference on 24th July 2025. The expected size of the workshop / tutorial event is to attract at least 10 participants (half day), at least 20 participants (full day). 

Panels are expended to be held during the main conference 25-26th July and should bring together very serious speakers from diverse backgrounds debating a cutting edge topic that will attract participants from a number of backgrounds (specially non-academics) to attend the conference.
