The PANDEM-2 development team will host a series of IT tool training and evaluation events in February 2023. The training sessions will help the PANDEM-2 end-users to understand the outcomes of the technical work completed to date by the project’s consortium over the past year including the development of the PANDEM-2 IT tools for supporting pandemic management. The project’s end-users consist of public health experts, data experts and pandemic managers from across Europe.
The series will host three training events with each focusing on two specific tools:

Throughout the sessions, end-users will have the opportunity to provide feedback on the tools which will help define a roadmap for future developments as we prepare for the final phase of the project. The expertise and advise of the PANDEM-2 end-users will ensure that the project’s tools will be designed to work with the key audiences they are designed for by adapting to their first-hand experiences and needs.
