Professor Einar Broch Johnsen will discuss his aims to develop a digital twin model that will enhance our ability to predict transmission patterns under varying levels of vaccine efficacy against current and future viruses. In addition to advancing our understanding of transmission dynamics, the project also places great emphasis on training early-stage researchers. By equipping them with the knowledge and skills needed for future pandemics and endemics, we are actively working towards strengthening global preparedness.

What are SUSTAINITtalks
SUSTAINITtalks, organized by the Sustainable Health Unit (SUSTAINIT) at the University of Oslo, are research seminars consisting of local and external guest speakers exploring the dynamic intersections among sustainability, health and a wide range of disciplines. The seminars are one-hour long, informal sessions taking place at Kristine Bonnevies Hus, where invited guests present a piece of their own research, and we have an opportunity to comment and ask questions. It is a continuation of the previous series, SHEtalks. Whether you are a student, researcher, healthcare professional, or sustainability enthusiast, this seminar series offers a unique opportunity to learn and discuss about how we can create a healthier, more sustainable world. Don't miss the chance to be part of the conversation shaping the future of health and sustainability!
