For the second consecutive time, the Institute of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, Universidade NOVA de Lisboa, in Lisbon, Portugal, hosted the EuCARE Annual Scientific Board Meeting!
The meeting occurred between the 23th and the 24th of October and consisted of two days filled with interesting face-to-face discussions, vivid knowledge sharing and fresh science! Many issues were discussed including a brainstorming session about preparedness.
There were also parallel sessions where the work done by the workpackages involved in the project was presented and proposals for new scientific projects, within the EuCARE scope, were presented.
See below some captured moments of the EuCARE annual meeting event.
For the first time , the EuCARE consortium hosted the Joint Dialogue on Preparedness, where some invitees external to EuCARE, alongside with EuCARE members, discussed Preparedness. The meeting ‘Joint dialogue on preparedness’, took place on the afternoon of the 24th October, and included short presentations by key opinion leaders in the field of four complementary topics: Data, Non pharmaceutical interventions, Vaccines and Therapies.
This session was a perfect closing to the meeting, given that very important topics were discussed in a well organized and dynamic session. There were multiple presentations and exchange of opinions and knowledge about the main topics selected. We also discussed where the next meeting will take place, but we’ll let you know about that later.
