ERINHA conference: launching the European Research Infrastructure on Highly Pathogenic Agents’ scientific strategy

The European Research Infrastructure on Highly Pathogenic Agents (ERINHA) will be holding a one-day conference in Brussels on the 10th of May, 2017.

The conference will provide an update on the current status of the development of interventions for highly pathogenic agents and will also introduce the attendees and potential users to the ERINHA infrastructure that will provide open access to state-of-the-art BSL4 and supporting facilities for academia and industry. The conference will also introduce the scientific research strategy that will be implemented by ERINHA to reinforce European coordination and research into highly pathogenic microorganisms.

Expert presentations will provide an overview of the current areas of vaccine and diagnostic development against these highly pathogenic agents. The conference takes place in the Marriott Hotel Grand Place in Brussels.

Among others, some of the EVIDENT partners (such as INSERM, Public Health England, the National Institute for Infectious Diseases (INMI) ‘Lazzaro Spallanzani’ in Rome as well as the National Center for Epidemiology in Hungary) are also part of the ERINHA consortium.
