The LSC DiPH Retreat 2023 took place from the 22nd to the 24th of February at the Atlantic Hotel Wilhelmshaven. The retreat featured a variety of stimulating talks and workshops.

The LSC DiPH organizes two workshops at the 15^th European Public Health Conference (EPH) 2022 in Berlin:

Better DiPH – To plan, implement, evaluate, and the future of digital public health interventions (Round table)

How can we achieve effective interdisciplinarity in digital public health practice? (Skills building seminar)

The LSC is giving a public lecture on "Digital Public Health – Promises and potential pitfalls" hosted by the Department of Public Health, Oshakati Campus at the University Namibia.

Public Health aims to promote and enhance the health status of individuals and communities through collective societal efforts. Recently, several digital technologies have emerged, pursuing the same goal, developing a novel concept: Digital Public Health. Given the rapidly increasing number of health-related digital technologies, a systematic framework is necessary to assess their values from a public health perspective.

During the visit of the three Tanzanian researchers Prof. Dr. Alex B. Makulilo, Dr. Doreen Mwamlangala and Dr. Rindstone Ezekiel from the Open University of Tanzania, the LeibnizScience Campus DiPH analyzed and discussed digital covid-19 strategies in Germany and Africa with a special focus on tracing apps. Background of the visit is a research project on health law funded by the Humboldt Foundation. The exchange was enriched by a delegation of researchers from the University of Namibia.

The influence of social media on children's and adolescents' diets, understanding engagement strategies in digital interventions for mental health promotion, mapping digital public health interventions in practice, the role of technology to promote social participation during the COVID-19 pandemic and implementation of evidence-based digital health interventions to support public health. These are selected recent publications from the LSC DiPH.

The Leibniz ScienceCampus Digital Public Health Bremen is a highly interdisciplinary research collaboration between the Leibniz-Institute for Prevention Research and Epidemiology –BIPS and the University of Bremen, funded for an initial period of 4 years (2019-2023). To join us in this endeavour, we invite the application for a full-time scientist (Post-doc, salary grade TVL-13) for the duration of two years (with opportunity for extension) who will support and drive research in one of our key research clusters, namely cluster 3. The post can also be filled as a less than full-time position, depending on negotiations.
