Eyes on the Future: Building Collaborative Intelligence to Prevent the Next Pandemic

Mission and Objectives

---

This training will focus on three areas: One Health Intelligence, Participatory Surveillance, and
Outbreak Verification.

• This training will be based on real world examples that are part of the Ending Pandemics Academy portfolio of novel approaches and systems
• Majority of the workshop will be devoted to interactive learning and will highlight the importance of One Health Intelligence
• The workshop will expose participants to real world examples of One Health Participatory Surveillance
• Participants will be able to put theory to practise through exercises that will provide them with the skills to design a Participatory Surveillance system relevant to their local context
• Hands-on interaction with the novel disease verification system, EpiCore, highlighting how such approaches can rapidly verify if an early warning signal is real
