LIME talks

Join us for LIME talks with Dr Ok Pannenborg.
Past Pandemics often resulted in major power changes, nationally, regionally and geopolitically.

The current COVID-19 pandemic is likely to be no different: it already resulted in large shifts among power blocks and may well trigger significant redesign of the global health architecture in the wake of a new bi- or tripolar economic world power structure, with a reversal of international equity and social justice.
