Valorization of PRICOV-19 Study: Translating scientific findings into policy recommendations for preparedness and response to infectious disease outbreaks in European primary care practices Ghent University
During the COVID-19 pandemic, a consortium of more than 45 European research institutions, led by UGent, embarked on the PRICOV-19 study. This study aimed to investigate how primary care practices adapted their operations to deliver safe and high-quality care under challenging circumstances, particularly to vulnerable populations. PRICOV-19 collected data from over 8,000 primary care practices across 37 European countries and Israel, without ...

MOnitoring Outbreak events for Disease surveillance in a data science context KU Leuven
The detection of infectious disease emergence relies on reporting cases, i.e. indicator-based surveillance (IBS). This method lacks sensitivity, due to non or delayed reporting of cases. In a changing environment due to climate change, animal and human mobility, population growth and urbanization, there is an increased risk of emergence of new and exotic pathogens, which may pass undetected with IBS. Hence, the need to detect signals of ...
Integrated Services for Infectious Disease Outbreak Research KU Leuven
The ISIDORe consortium, made of the capacities of European ESFRI infrastructures and coordinated networks, proposes to assemble the largest and most diverse research and service providing instrument to study infectious diseases in Europe, from structural biology to clinical trials. Giving scientists access to the whole extent of our state of the art facilities, cutting edge services, advanced equipment and expertise, in an integrated way and ...
