Aim

• To share innovative experiences, ideas and approaches for the development, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of FAST surveillance and control programmes.

Main issues

• How are information and communication technologies improving data collection and reporting and guiding informed and timely decisions on surveillance and control?
• How systems and knowledge developed for surveillance of COVID-19 can be used and adapted for FAST diseases?
• What are novel approaches in evaluating surveillance systems and overall surveillance system sensitivity?
• How can combined surveillance and control for different FAST diseases increase resource efficiency in countries?
• What is the future of molecular techniques like whole genome sequencing and metagenomics in FMD and similar TADs surveillance?
• How can in-field technologies and Artificial Intelligence be used for improving surveillance and data collection?
• How do socioeconomic approaches and public-private partnerships contribute to improved FAST surveillance and control?
