About ESCAIDE
The conference aims at: (a) strengthening and expanding the human network of all involved in applied infectious disease epidemiology (b) sharing scientific knowledge and experience in this field in Europe and internationally, and (c) providing a dedicated platform for EPIET/FETP (field epidemiology training programme) fellows to present their work. The target audience for the conference includes epidemiologists, microbiologists, clinicians and public, veterinary and environmental health experts with a professional and scientific interest in applied infectious disease epidemiology. In addition, the conference aims at bringing together several groups of people involved in applied infectious disease epidemiology: at least two members of the National institute of Public Health from each European Union Member State and the non-EU members of the European Economic Areas (EEA) Iceland, Norway, Liechtenstein, members of the Dedicated Surveillance Networks (DSNs) and EPIET-FETP fellows and alumni. The second ESCAIDE took place in 2008 in Berlin (Germany). ESCAIDE will rotate between Stockholm, the city where ECDC is seated and a capital city of an EU Member State or EEA on alternate years. |
