Ahead of the UN High-level Meeting on Pandemic Prevention, Preparedness, and Response, taking place in September, ESWI has joined the Pandemic Action Network, alongside more than 90 partners, in signing a political declaration calling leaders for action.

The European Public Health Alliance's manifesto presents five key priorities, aiming at strengthening public health and securing the EU’s resilience by working on pandemic preparedness and response.

Science|Business organised a roundtable discussion with international experts -representing industry, academia, public health bodies, think tanks, government officials and research organisations- to discuss how to prepare for future pandemics.

Main outcome of the ESWI summit “Pandemic Preparedness: Where Science and Policy Meet”, which took place in Brussels in June 2022, was recently published in the scientific journal One Health Outlook.

Pandemic Action Network releases a policy paper with a set of recommendations to establish ​​a new equitable, effective, and efficient pandemic countermeasures platform that will be key in responding to future health threats.

The strategy, presented by the European Commission on 30 November 2022, puts global health forward as an essential pillar of EU external policy

The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted trust as an important determinant of successful pandemic response. The second webinar in the series examines historical trust infrastructures that build and maintain trust within communities.

The first webinar in the series reviews the lessons learned at the intersection of trust and different responses to health emergencies including HIV, Ebola and COVID-19.

Governments and the global community must urgently tackle difficult questions about why, how, where, and when diagnostics, treatments, and vaccines are produced, and about who is in control of their availability and distribution.

On 30 November, The European Commission adopted Europe’s agenda for global health action for the next 10 years.

Global collaborative response, early warning, One-Health approach, combination of interventions and good communication are key elements for a successful pandemic preparedness instrument
