| 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. |
