The COVID-19 emergency has underlined the strong interconnection between scientific consensus/dissent, the cost-effectiveness of policy interventions and their implications for public health, social welfare, the economy and society at large. The debate on (mandatory) vaccination, the evaluation of the therapeutic benefits and safety associated with off-label drugs or treatments yet to be approved, the psychosocial effects of distancing and lockdown measures, the cost-effectiveness considerations of containment measures, The economic and political implications for our well-being and social and economic justice issues highlight the profound interconnection between scientific enterprise, health care systems and society.
Furthermore, plagued by deep uncertainty and attempts at manipulation, the media system may have favored the polarization of debates and a crisis of credibility vis-à-vis science and political institutions. Scientific dissent on policy is giving a new perspective to the traditional problem of the "demarcation" of science from pseudo-science. This in turn raises the theoretical question of how to characterize scientific rationality in such contexts and how to deal with scientific ecosystems characterized by vested interests and hidden agendas: who decides what is science and what is scientific?
The congress brings together scientists, economists, policy-makers and methodologists from science and the medical profession to take stock, analyze best practices from around the world, and foster an evidence-based multidisciplinary debate on industry- and non-industry-sponsored scientific studies. research industry; issues relating to containment measures, prevention and treatment perspectives, resource allocation and their impact on health and society will be addressed, with a view to making proposals for the development of virtuous mechanisms that reward general and individual health and well-being , public and individual.
