ESCAIDE

I just wanted to mention that a call for late breaker abstracts for ESCAIDE 2026 will still be open for a few days, until 23 September 2026. We welcome abstracts in all areas related to infectious disease and public health. https://lnkd.in/eWipsqDG

The programme for ESCAIDE's 20th edition on 18-20 November is coming together, and you can still register to attend online - for the whole conference or selected sessions! This year's first plenary will focus on the decentralisation of public health leadership. Regional institutions such as Africa CDC and the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), alongside the WHO, are taking on greater responsibility for preparedness, surveillance, and outbreak respons. Speaker Shingai Machingaidze from CEPI (Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations) will reflect on the opportunities for collaboration and challenges of this shift. The session will also explore how Europe and global partners can collaborate in this new public health landscape.

The Chief Scientist will lead the Scientific Evidence and Communication Unit, help set European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC)’s scientific direction, and safeguard the quality, integrity and independence of our scientific work. The role is also key to ensuring that scientific evidence is translated into clear, relevant and actionable public health advice, with a direct contribution to infectious disease prevention and control across Europe. As a member of ECDC’s senior management team, the Chief Scientist will help shape both our scientific priorities and the wider direction of the Centre. 📍 Stockholm 📅 Apply by 30 September 2026 🔗 Check the criteria: https://bit.ly/4qPQSPw #ECDC #PublicHealth #Science #WeAreHiring
