During their two-year fellowship, ECDC Fellowship Programme fellows are placed in different training sites.
Training sites selected to host a fellow are those with responsibilities for communicable disease surveillance, epidemiology, and public health advice. Selection criteria include an assessment of the training site’s potential for the practice of intervention epidemiology or public health microbiology and the quality of training supervision available for the fellows.
The EU Health Task Force (EUHTF) is an initiative to support countries in Europe and around the world by providing operational outbreak response and crisis preparedness related to communicable diseases or diseases of unknown origin.
Fellows will be placed for a two-year fellowship on the EPIET or EUPHEM path outside of the country of their own nationality. Individuals may apply via the ECDC website.
