All are welcome to an open meeting to exchange national experiences on data sharing during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Meeting aims:
- Exchange national experiences (technology and policy aspects) on data sharing during the COVID-19 pandemic
- Learn about ongoing projects in relation to COVID-19 and other pathogen data sharing/genomic surveillance
- Create a community for knowledge exchange/solving bottlenecks across sectors, e.g., social sciences, molecular life sciences, clinical and epidemiological sciences, hospitals and across country borders
Target audience:
- People working on technical aspects of COVID-19 (and other pathogen) data sharing and surveillance at the national level
- People working on policies concerning COVID-19 (and other pathogen) data sharing and surveillance at the national level
