SUMMARY:Berlin Process Western Balkans – 6th Joint Science Conference
DESCRIPTION:Lessons Learned from COVID-19: the Way Forward The 6th Berlin P
 rocess Joint Science Conference is organised jointly by the Polish Academy 
 of Sciences and the Leopoldina under the 2021 German Presidency of the Berl
 in Process. It brings together around 60 high-level representatives of nati
 onal academies of sciences and arts, rectors’ conferences and leading unive
 rsities, and research organisations and distinguished ad personam scientist
 s from the 16 Berlin Process countries. Participation is possible upon invi
 tation only.\n\nThe conference will prepare formal recommendations to the v
 irtual meeting of the Heads of State and Government at the Berlin Western B
 alkans Summit on 5 July 2021, covering three major topics. In addition, it 
 will discuss current affairs of education, research & innovation policy.\n\
 nPandemic management In an unprecedented crisis threatening lives and affec
 ting health, society and economy, the ongoing pandemic has claimed many eff
 orts. Science-based knowledge continues to play an essential role in pandem
 ic management, from advice in crisis situation, to pandemic containment and
  vaccination-based community immunisation. Many countries of the world have
  experienced several pandemic waves, with new variants delaying the end of 
 the pandemic. Therefore, it is important to draw lessons learned from devel
 opments so far in order to avoid a resurgence of SARS-CoV-2-infections. The
  discussion will also focus on the specific pandemic situation in South Eas
 t Europe.\n\nCrisis resilience A general lesson learned from COVID-19 for t
 he entire European continent is the urgency to reinforce resilience to risk
 s and threats posed by public health crises, as new future pandemics or reg
 ional epidemics are probable. This is why communities and states need to im
 prove their capacity to withstand, cope with, adapt to and recover from aff
 liction of any type by developing systemic resilience. The conference will 
 look into pandemic preparedness, One Health, cross-border co-ordination as 
 well as pillars of systemic resilience and short-term adversity reactivity.
 \n\nPost-pandemic priorities COVID-19 has both induced stresses and trigger
 ed transformations in different areas. Next to stresses such as overstraine
 d medical care, disrupted social and economic systems, deteriorating mental
  health and child well-being, the perception of a “need for change” in the 
 so-called recovery process has been growing. The conference will look into 
 priorities for the post-pandemic time, including transformations such as cl
 imate neutrality and digitalisation of state and society. The focus will la
 y on South East Europe, also in the context of EU-enlargement and regional 
 cooperation.\n\nContact\n\nLucian BrujanSpeaker of the Berlin Process Joint
