SUMMARY:International Society for Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect 2023 Congress
DESCRIPTION:The 2023 ISPCAN Congress in Edinburgh Sept 23-27\, 2023 will be held under the theme Advancements in Data and Solutions for Tackling Child Abuse. \n\n\n\nWithin the last decade\, we have seen large advancements in child protection research\, response and prevention – from an increase in our understanding of the prevalence of child abuse and neglect through national and multi-country population-based survey efforts to increased multi-sectoral responses and prevention efforts. We are also witnessing a generation of rapid technological changes\, and child protection systems need to respond accordingly. We need data approaches that reflect the opportunities and challenges of our new hyper-digital world and ensure we safeguard children.

SUMMARY:Launch of the International Classification of Violence Against Children
DESCRIPTION:UNICEF has developed the International Classification of Violence against Children (ICVAC) with inputs from more than 200 experts from national statistical offices\, academia\, and international organizations. The ICVAC was endorsed at the 54th session of the UN Statistical Commission as international statistical standard and was recommended for inclusion in the International Family of Classifications. We are excited that countries now have a tool to assess the extent to which their national definitions on violence against children comply with internationally-agreed standards. It will also help countries ensure that data collection efforts produce comparable data.

SUMMARY:International Society for Prosthetics and Orthotics Congress
DESCRIPTION:The ISPO 19th World Congress will offer a high-quality scientific program in Guadalajara\, Mexico. At the same time\, companies from all continents will present their latest products and innovations in the international exhibition. \n\n\n\nThe World Congress theme The Art and the Science brings together two important aspects of prosthetic\, orthotic and mobility care. The Art can refer to elite craftsmanship and clinical experience that is applied when providing appropriate services for assistive technology consumers. Art can also relate to the personalization and artistic aspects of device design that incorporates the user’s personality and feelings\, moving an assistive device beyond just a piece of technology. The Science incorporates innovation\, evidence\, and knowledge translation across the spectrum of prosthetic\, orthotic and mobility services to enable end-users to receive appropriate services at the right time\, the right place\, and the right cost.

SUMMARY:Science of Implementation & Dissemination Conference
DESCRIPTION:This year’s theme\, (Re)Building Better Systems: Being Proactive\, Nimble\, and Responsive\, will build upon lessons learned about rapidly changing community health and clinical settings to envisioning new models for conducting D&I science that respond to the shifting needs of diverse systems and populations\, and use flexible and rigorous methodologies to anticipate challenges and ongoing change. To make large-scale gains in health at a population level\, we must consider the integration of scientific discoveries within varied contexts and populations\, in the face of dynamic evidence\, competing demands\, and diverse stakeholder priorities.
