来自香港与海外的研究人员、学者和参加者在研讨会上交流观点,探索与疫情相关的国际和本地议题。

新冠肺炎改变了我们的生活各层面,同时为世界各地带来形形色色的新挑战。为进一步探讨疫情大流行所造成的影响,浸大於5月20和21日举办「Transnational and Transdisciplinary Lessons from the COVID-19 Pandemic」国际研讨会,从跨国与跨学科角度来反思新冠肺炎。来自香港与海外的研究人员、学者和参加者於线上和线下交流观点,探索与疫情相关的国际和本地议题。

 

一连两天的研讨会由政治及国际关系学系主办,体育、运动及健康学系和林思齐东西学术交流研究所支持,是社会科学院金禧纪念的重点庆祝活动之一。

 

研讨会邀得来自澳洲、法国、香港、新加坡和英国共30多位学者和专家参加,并有来自非学术界人士参与。研讨会共进行了三场专题讨论和四场分组讨论,讲者就不同领域展开对话,探讨疫情下经济与金融市场所受的冲击、国家管治和环境卫生等议题。

 

发表主题演讲的Huw Wiltshire博士为威尔士榄球联盟与俄罗斯榄球联盟前发展总监。他分析新冠肺炎对精英运动员的影响,表示在疫情下各种特定训练对精英运动员极为重要。他亦关注到体育如何在人与人接触受限制的世界中持续发展。

 

在研讨会的最后一场讨论上,讲者围绕疫情过后世界所面临的挑战分享见解,认为新冠肺炎加速了科学发展,不过各地在防疫工作和推动创新之间须掌握平衡。讲者亦看到危中有机,表示疫情带出不少重要议题,值得开展跨学科研究作深入探讨,而在抗疫期间中人们展现出应变能力、创新思维和创意,令人对后疫情世界感乐观。
