ECDC launches public dashboard for ‘Upcoming scientific outputs’
ECDC has launched a new public dashboard for ‘Upcoming scientific outputs’. The searchable dashboard presents all the main scientific outputs currently under development by the Centre, replacing the previous static list of planned outputs that was typically published each spring.
Want to know what ECDC is working on or when a planned scientific output is scheduled to be released?
For the first time, everyone can see what scientific content the Centre is working on and when it is expected to become available.
The dashboard presents a list of the main scientific outputs planned for publication during the coming 12 months, with weekly updates to ensure near-real-time information that accurately reflects the current situation.
For each planned scientific output, the platform provides details on the output type (e.g. public health guidance, scientific manuscript, etc.), current working title, anticipated release date (by quarter), and status (in progress/completed/discontinued).
The database has a searchable interface to retrieve and export specific content, with drop-down menus that allow users to filter content by output type, release date and status.
Increased transparency and accessibility
The new dashboard improves transparency on ECDC activities and allows stakeholders to plan and align with the Centre’s activities.
When launching the new platform, ECDC Chief Scientist, Piotr Kramarz, stressed ECDC’s commitment to transparency: ‘The new searchable dashboard of ECDC’s scientific outputs will further improve our scientific transparency and credibility by ensuring that stakeholders and citizens can get a clear picture of the ECDC content in the pipeline and when key documents will be released.
This will reduce the risk of duplication and promote synergies between ECDC and external partners, thereby strengthening the usefulness of ECDC’s scientific work. This supports our ongoing commitment to deliver trusted and high-quality, timely scientific evidence and advice to improve public health in Europe’.
ECDC scientific outputs are published regularly on the website.
