Following the success of HELT 2023 and HELT 2024, the VUB Health & Ageing Law Lab (HALL) is proud to announce the next edition of the Health, Law & Technology Symposium (HELT 2025) in Brussels on April 24, 2025. This year, we dive into the theme “One Health: Advancing Global Health through Law and Technology.”
Bringing together experts from diverse disciplines, the symposium will explore the crucial links between health, law, and technology. The One Health approach highlights the deep interconnection between human, animal, and environmental health. It promotes collaborative, multi-sectoral solutions to tackle global health challenges, addressing concerns such as zoonotic diseases, antimicrobial resistance, and the impact of environmental changes on health.
In addition, we will examine emerging concepts such as Planetary Health, which focuses on climate change and social determinants of health, and One Digital Health, which explores the role of AI, big data, and digital innovation in shaping the future of healthcare.
Key topics at HELT 2025 will include:
✔ Regulating Zoonotic Disease Prevention and Control
✔ Data Privacy and Health Surveillance in a One-Health Approach
✔ Health(y) Technology, Innovation, and Intellectual Property
✔ Environmental Law, Climate Change, and Health
✔ Digital Divide, Health Equality, and the Right to Health
