I vores digitaliserede verden har læger, hospitaler og forskere, men også private firmaer adgang til mere data om deres patienter end nogensinde før. Sundhedsdata indhentes i overflod, blandt andet takket være nye innovative teknologier, der tillader læger at indsamle informationer om borgernes helbred i en detaljegrad, man ikke før ville have troet muligt. Men med den overflod af data følger også en række nye svære spørgsmål om etik, jura, ulighed og økonomiske interesser. Hvordan bliver sundhedsdata egentlig brugt – og af hvem? Kan det være uetisk at indsamle data til sundhedssystemet – og kan det være uetisk ikke at gøre det?

The panel explores trust and mistrust in the scientific establishment in the wake of Covid-19. The pandemic dramatically exposed the importance of scientific expertise for society, as scientists were thrust into the media limelight to make policy recommendations and share the constantly evolving scientific knowledge about the virus. The relationship between politicians and scientific advisors also came under scrutiny, and lively debates proliferated on social media, mixing science, skepticism, ideology, and conspiracy theories. The panel examines how traditional, digital, and social media depicted scientific expertise relating to Covid-19, and considers the broader implications for public trust in science.

Chair: Antoinette Fage-Butler, Associate Professor of Communication, Aarhus University  

José van Dijck, Professor of Media and Digital Society, Utrecht University

The green transition will be impossible without digital technologies, but the IT sector is also one of the greatest contributors to global CO2 emissions. How can digital advances help us understand the causes and effects of climate change and provide more effective mitigation strategies, and how can internet initiatives and the study of social media reshape democratic societies in more climate-friendly ways? Conversely, how can the IT sector be made more sustainable?
