Launch of the EU Initiative on Health Security work programme 2025

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.
