Day 2⃣ of the #JointFinalConference has begun! Don't forget if you're not in Brussels 🇧🇪, you can watch the livestream on youtube🌐: We'll also be live tweeting the event, stay tuned to this thread!
2⃣nd day of the #JointFinalConference began with synergies between EU funded projects on🤝 #CBRNe🧪☣️☢️⚛️💣 : @peers_eu, @H2020Including, @resist_project, @VERTIgO_EDIDP #MELODY, @COVINFORM_EU, @FIREINProject, #EUBULLSEYE
#JATERROR, @NGTriageEU, @HoloZcan, @NOFEAR_EU.

@peers_eu @H2020Including @resist_project @VERTIgO_EDIDP @COVINFORM_EU @FIREINProject @NGTriageEU @HoloZcan @NOFEAR_EU @OlgaVybornova We are honored to be actively involved in the influential #CSTAC cluster, driving significant advancements in #CBRN & #standardisation projects, which was presented by @JonHall999 from @resilience247 & @CMINE_EU
The #JointFinalConference of @H2020_eNOTICE, @PROACTIVE_EU & @PANDEM2H2020 has just begun in Brussels, Belgium & online! We're going to talk about #CBRN ☣️☢️& #pandemics 🦠 Watch this thread 🧵where we will be live tweeting the event! #CBRNe #EUSecurityResearch #Synergies
@H2020_eNOTICE @PANDEM2H2020 #JointFinalConference began with an insightful 💡 introduction of the @H2020_eNOTICE project by coordinator @OlgaVybornova from @UCLouvain_be. She highlighted how #eNOTICE contributes to capacity building💪 by organising #CBRN 🧪☣️☢️⚛️💣joint exercises in their training centers.
@H2020_eNOTICE @PANDEM2H2020 @OlgaVybornova @UCLouvain_be @grighav Up next, @PROACTIVE_EU coordinator @grighav from @uic shared key facts✅ about the project highlighting how we engaged with 100+ practitioners 👮♀️👩🚒 & 50+ civil society organisations, including vulnerable groups👩🦽 in our multitude of research📊📄 and #CBRNe three field exercises.
Peer-reviewed paper out today! Our research created induced pluripotent stem cells from bats, revealing an unusual entanglement between bats & viruses. Provides new insights into bat biology & virus-host relationships. #batstemcells #viralbiology @CellCellPress @IcahnMountSinai
Bats have fascinated humans for centuries, but how they tolerate viruses remains a mystery. We investigate evolutionary adaptations of bats to deal with viral infections. #batimmunesystem #viralpathogens Photo: Daniel Whitby 2/
LIVE now: the #NSABB is meeting to discuss the safety of work on pathogens: biosecurity, gain-of-function, dual-use research, counter-measures & vaccine R&D. W/some #Republicans claiming #SARSCoV2 arose from NIH-sponsored GOF work, this is a hot potato.

I agree—“most likely we will not be better prepared than we were in 2020” said @Karl_Lauterbach, 🇩🇪 health minister. ➡️“It’s only a matter of time until #climatechange makes more of these outbreaks become big enough that they become #pandemics”. Sobering.

2) We are in a “time when climate change is increasing the threat of infectious disease outbreaks. As wildlife habitats disappear, animals are moving closer to each other and to humans, interacting in new ways that create more opportunities for viruses to jump between species.”
3) the G7 has set up a PACT FOR PANDEMIC READINESS of $1.5 billion a year. The World Bank has set up a fund for the pact of roughly $1.5 billion per year, which is a minor investment compared to the expenses associated with a pandemic, @Karl_Lauterbach said.
A few reflections on and highlights from Preventable by @devisridhar #Covid19 #pandemics #globalhealth
Gone into print in August 2021, the book is a reminder of harrowing images (and for many very real personal experiences and losses). I sadly think many of these have already been forgotten, just a few months later.
2022 has brought new #Covid narrative -
1 #Virus getting weaker
2 #Vaccine situation fine as is
3 We don't need #publichealth measures any more
Really?

In the past few days @sd270 and I have been frantically analysing the data we got from @ecfr latest poll on European perceptions of French diplomatic leadership. Unroll 🧵for an insight on our main findings (1/10) bit.ly/3i8Stxz
European citizens want more cooperation on #security and expect the EU to provide it (2/10) #ECFRdata
Europeans are disillusioned with how the global system of international cooperation is handling today’s challenges. 71% believe that the system is not working on #climatechange. (3/10) #ECFRdata
Our new polling shows: the steps taken at EU level since the #RussianInvasionOfUkraine seem to be the minimum the European public expects. Europeans are calling for deeper long-term cooperation on #security matters at EU level. | A thread👇 (1/9) ecfr.eu/publication/a-…
Europeans are disillusioned with how the global system of international cooperation is handling today’s challenges. 71% believe that the system is not working on #climatechange. (2/9) #ECFRdata
Confidence in national political systems is at a low ebb across Europe, with a majority of Europeans (58%) holding the view that ordinary voters have almost “no impact” on today’s politics. 🇪🇺 But support for EU institutions, however, remains high! (3/9) #ECFRdata
Feb 23 2022: "#WHO facilitates 194 member states to introduce digital #vaccination certificates... WHO will make it easier for its member states to introduce digital vaccination certificates in the future... It is intended to serve as a standard procedure..." #DigitalID
"#WHO is therefore supporting member states in building national & regional trust networks & verification technology. The WHO's gateway service also serves as a bridge between regional systems. It can also be used as part of future #vaccination campaigns..."
#Surveillance
#Surveillance
"Digitization keeps the world running. Digital #vaccination certificates like the EU's are key to this...The gateway will interact w/ other parts of the system already developed by WHO...This will also give hints for regional & national setups to be followed by the implementers."
