Dear colleagues on the WHO Expert Group,
I'm writing to share along two items that may be of interest:
1. Health Promotion International invites papers for a special issue on the Digital Determinants of Health by end of August (website says end of July, but I'm informed the deadline has been extended). More information here: https://academic.oup.com/heapro/pages/health-promotion-international
2. This Thursday, STOPAIDS and the UN Major Group for Children and Youth are hosting a virtual roundtable: ‘Why is health absent in the Global Digital Compact? A roundtable discussion on the critical need for health in digital governance’. The event will take place on Thursday 11th July from 12-1pm BST. (I'm one of the speakers) Please register your attendance using this link [ https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZMldOioqD0jG9SwzcrtOveUb5DPobL... ], and share with colleagues interested in attending.
Best
Meg
