The EU Initiative on Health Security aims to set up a competent regional workforce for the prevention and control of challenges posed by communicable diseases and to enhance regional cooperation to tackle cross-border health security threats.

ECDC is set 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.
