EFSA: Webinar on increasing preparedness for highly pathogenic avian influenza in Europe

12 September 2023

In line with EFSA’s strategic objective to increase preparedness, several outsourcing activities have targeted the development and implementation of early warning systems for highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) to allow Member States sufficient time for their outbreak response and management.

The first webinar of this series will offer first-hand information on EFSA’s upcoming call for the establishment of an active surveillance network for HPAI across Europe*. This call represents an opportunity for Member States to complement, top up and strengthen their existing activities related to the surveillance of HPAI in wild birds. It aims to build capacities and long-term partnerships with relevant actors in a variety of geographical settings. The webinar will give an overview of the specific tasks and application procedures, and there will be sufficient time for questions.

The second webinar will provide an update on EFSA’s Bird Flu Radar (currently accessible through the Migration Mapping Tool), an early warning system based on spatio-temporal risk assessment. Content covered will include developments in the methodology and alert messaging system, new functionalities, and an outlook to the future.
