The Robert Koch Institute, Germany’s federal public health agency, and the Center for Technology and Society at the Technical University Berlin are excited to announce a

 

 

Call for Abstracts for the upcoming Symposium, ‘DELSI – Digital Epidemiology and its ethical, legal and social implications.’

 

 

This event will be held September 14-18, 2015 at the Schwanenwerder Estate in Berlin, Germany.

 

We invite qualified researchers to apply from Germany and the United Kingdom who want to make a contribution to the analysis and assessment of the epistemic, societal and practical implications of emerging technologies, including data mining, sensors and other digital sources, applied to infectious disease surveillance and public health practice.

 

You will find specific program and application information in the Call for Abstract here: http://www.tu-berlin.de/ztg/menue/aktuelles_termine/archiv_2015/cfp_delsi_-_digital_epidemiology_and_its_ethical_legal_and_social_implications/

 

 

We estimate decisions to be communicated by April 21, 2015.
