PLP retreat 2024
August 29, 2024 @ 11:00 – August 30, 2024 @ 13:45 CEST
The SciLifeLab Pandemic Laboratory Preparedness (PLP) program, started in 2021, acts to meet society’s need for efficient use of resources, training and education, to propagate skills and setting up technologies and equipment to be better equipped for new pandemics.
The PLP-retreat aims at strengthening the PLP network as well as an opportunity to highlight and discuss how the PLP program can evolve and be sustainable in the future.
With a poster session and focused group discussions on the key questions for pandemic preparedness, we believe this will be a highly rewarding event for the participants, and will spur many new ideas on how pandemic preparedness can be structured in the future.
