Be part of the effort to help shape new policy

Early warning systems for infectious diseases is important for public health planning as early detection of an emerging disease outbreak is crucial to the success of disease control. It has been a very active field of research for many diseases such as SARS and pandemic influenza, and has attracted strong interest especially since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.

This event will be a 3-day workshop held in hybrid form with face-to-face meetings and online participation. There will be 3 sessions on each of the commonly used data types, namely classical surveillance data sources (environmental surveillance, satellite imaging, and case surveillance), modern data sources (social media, web search and news articles), and the combination of these two data sources.

On each day, there will be a morning session consisting of a keynote speaker presentation followed by two invited talks and a discussion session, and an afternoon working group session to work on particular topics. The goal at the end of the workshop is to produce a policy paper towards EWS for infectious diseases.
