The Symposium held at the Fondazione Giorgio Cini in November 2025 examined the COVID-19 experience and what it implies for future pandemics: uneven capacity among health systems, weak international coordination, unequal access to vaccines. This 40th Quaderno di San Giorgio collects the contributions of experts in medicine, modelling, economics, law and political science, organised along the healthcare, international and political dimensions that structured the discussion. Preparedness, it concludes, is built in peacetime and no country can achieve it alone.

Il Simposio tenutosi presso la Fondazione Giorgio Cini nel novembre 2025 ha esaminato l’esperienza del COVID-19 e le sue implicazioni per le future pandemie, considerando in particolare le disparità tra i sistemi sanitari in termini di capacità di reazione, l’esigenza di un maggiore coordinamento internazionale e di una minore diseguaglianza nell’accesso ai vaccini. Il 40° Quaderno di San Giorgio raccoglie i contributi di esperti in medicina, modellizzazione, economia, diritto e scienze politiche, organizzati secondo le dimensioni sanitaria, internazionale e politica che hanno strutturato la discussione. La preparazione, conclude il volume, si costruisce in tempo di pace e nessun Paese può affrontare una tale sfida da solo.
