Launch of the EU Initiative on Health Security work programme 2025
The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) is preparing for an impactful year in 2025, delivering training sessions, capacity-building initiatives, and enhancing collaboration with European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) partner countries under the EU Initiative on Health Security.
To support partner countries, ECDC is proposing a comprehensive programme for 2025 that will remain responsive to the needs identified by the partner countries and ECDC through continuous dialogue.
Key activities for 2025 include:
- MediPIET field epidemiology training modules to build national expertise.
- Workshops on epidemic intelligence, risk assessment, and infodemic management to strengthen rapid response capabilities.
- Collaboration with partner countries for knowledge sharing and integration with European public health systems.
- Annual meetings and scientific events to foster dialogue and learning.
The initiative continues to support tailored capacity-building efforts, equipping public health professionals with the skills needed to detect, assess, and respond effectively to infectious disease threats in the EU`s Eastern and Southern neighbourhood regions.
In addition to multi-country capacity-building events, ECDC will also undertake tailored bilateral activities in response to specific interests and requests. Participants from ENP partner countries will have access to a wide range of training sessions, workshops, and networking opportunities throughout the year.
