FAST disease risks in a changing world - From megatrends to microlearning

29-31 October 2024, Alcalá de Henares, Spain.

The EuFMD Open Session 2024 will explore the macroscopic impact of global megatrends on FAST disease management while emphasizing the importance of microlearning strategies for effective risk mitigation. 

By integrating macro-level insights into daily practices through microlearning methodologies, this OS24 will offer a great opportunity to public and private stakeholders in the veterinary domain to strengthen their knowledge and skills necessary to adapt and respond swiftly to the dynamic disease landscape. 

OS24 Focus: 

  • Global FMD update
  • Megatrends impacting on FAST disease 
  • The changing landscape of FAST disease
  • Emerging tools for capacity development

Parallel sessions: 

  • Virology and Diagnostics
  • Modeling and risk-mapping
  • Innovations in FAST vacines
  • Epidemio-surveillance
  • Socioeconomics
  • FAST vaccine selection and efficacy
