Looking back. Moving forward. 🌍🔬

Two days of science, reflection and meaningful conversations in Rome.

The Pandemic Preparedness Rome Conference, held on 1–2 October 2026, brought together leading scientists, researchers and policymakers to reflect on the lessons of COVID-19 and explore how we can better prepare for future pandemics.

More than the final event of the EuCARE project, the conference reflected a joint effort by EuCARE, VERDI and ORCHESTRA, guided by the Cohorts Coordination Board (CCB).

From clinical research and Long COVID to vaccination, schools and public health policy, the discussions encouraged open dialogue, critical reflection and a shared commitment to learning from past challenges.

One of the conference’s key outcomes will be the Joint Statement on Future Pandemic Preparedness, bringing together ten key points to help carry these lessons forward.

The true legacy of research is not only what we discover, but what we do with that knowledge.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to these two inspiring days.

The conversation continues. The legacy lives on.

Pandemic Preparedness Rome Conference

On 1–2 October 2026 occurred the Pandemic Preparedness Rome Conference, a successful event marking an important milestone in the project’s journey, a very high level scientific event, featuring lectures by keynote speakers.

Over two days, researchers, healthcare professionals, policymakers and project partners gathered to share scientific insights, reflect on lessons learned and discuss how the knowledge generated through EuCARE can contribute to stronger pandemic preparedness.

From clinical research and Long COVID to vaccination, immunology, schools and public health resilience, the conference highlighted the importance of bringing science, collaboration and policy together.

But beyond the research and discussions, this event was also about the people who made EuCARE possible.

To every partner, researcher, speaker and participant who contributed to this journey: thank you.

The conference may be over, but the knowledge, connections and collaborations built along the way will continue to shape what comes next.

The EuCARE legacy continues.

Stay tuned for more detailed information about the conference coming soon.

Research from the EuCARE POST COVID Study has been accepted for a poster presentation at the 4th Long COVID International Conference 2026 taking place in November.

Presented by Prof. Camilla Tincati, the study “Severe Acute COVID-19 Is Associated With Depressive Symptoms and Reduced Anxiety Resolution During Post-Acute Follow-Up” explores the relationship between the severity of acute COVID-19 and mental health outcomes during post-acute follow-up.

This work reflects the continued collaboration of EuCARE researchers and partners to better understand the long-term impact of COVID-19 and contribute to the growing evidence on Long COVID.

Congratulations to Camilla Tincati and all the co-authors involved!

New EuCARE Publication Alert!

How do adolescents perceive vaccines and hesitancy? A new EuCARE study, published in Human Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics, explores adolescent viewpoints on vaccines, COVID-19 immunization, and HPV awareness through anonymized, validated, self-completed electronic surveys and focus groups in London schools.

Key findings:

High confidence in childhood vaccines (91–95%) but lower trust in COVID-19 vaccines (47–56% believed they were adequately tested).

Parental influence is crucial—96% of students relied on parents for vaccine decisions, followed by healthcare providers (48%).

Social media had minimal impact, while recommendations from doctors and parents significantly boosted vaccine confidence.

HPV vaccine uptake was high (77–83%), but international HPV awareness campaigns need better youth-targeted design.

Understanding these perceptions is key to improving vaccine communication strategies and fostering stronger public health initiatives.
