ECDC proposes to issue the 2025 call for application for EURLs for public health in the area of respiratory viruses to ensure continued laboratory support and capacity-building activities for Europe on these high importance/high impact pathogens.
- The area of respiratory viruses is suggested to be covered in one EURL by a consortium of up to five partner institutes.
- A list of EURLs for implementation in subsequent calls beyond 2025 is proposed and in addition a list of diseases/health issues under consideration for EURL implementation is provided.
- Changes to the processes for application, evaluation and designation of EURLs are proposed.
