WP1 – Project management, communication and dissemination |
WP1 will develop a joint consortium communication strategy and tools, and a data management plan. |
WP2 – Network eco-system modelling |
WP2 will deliver a comprehensive model of the lab network structure, a governance and sustainability plan, a stakeholder analysis and KPIs and scenario exercises. |
WP3 – Enhancing European and global cooperation |
WP3 will map the core network, the links with research consortia and other initiatives, and the extended international network of the individual partners and possible future initiatives. |
WP4 – Pro-active identification of pathogens and variants |
WP4 will develop a toolbox facilitating the broader surveillance, and prepositioned sampling protocols. |
WP5 – Pro-active phenotypic characterization of high-risk animal and emerging pathogens |
WP5 will develop new state-of-the-art in vitro and ex-vivo laboratory systems to study virus infections, and new assays to determine phenotypic traits. |
WP6 – Continued improvement of countermeasures |
WP6 will develop assays and run screening campaigns with 250,000 compounds to identify hits (Hits that block replication are interesting as tool compounds supporting mechanistic studies). |
WP7 – Pathogen and outbreak tracking |
WP7 will develop and provide a new database, and a new generation of analytical tools for pathogen and outbreak tracking. |
WP8 – Forecasting and scenarios |
WP8 will develop new mathematical models and a comprehensive analytical framework supporting risk assessments. |
WP9 – Validation and deployment of novel diagnostics, genomics and analytical workflows |
WP9 will facilitate the rapid roll out of essential assays in case of new discoveries through WP4 or from outside of the consortium. |
WP10 – Training and capacity building |
WP10 will deliver three Project Schools, webinars and comprehensive training materials. |
WP11 – Response to Emergencies |
WP11 will develop a protocol for a coordinated response to emergencies. |
