The HISP Centre at the University of Oslo (HISP UiO) and the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) have signed a memorandum of understanding to collaborate on the design, development, testing, and application of complementary digital functionalities in support of global health security. The agreement establishes a framework for the two organizations to explore areas of mutual interest in epidemic intelligence, pandemic preparedness and response, and the development of resilient health systems.
“Epidemic preparedness depends on having data not only to respond in a targeted and effective way to disease outbreaks but also to predict and inform preparation for future pandemics. Critical to this is having the right data infrastructure in place before a crisis hits,” said HISP UiO Director Kristin Braa. “CEPI has built an extraordinary global network for vaccine development and response, and we look forward to exploring what we can achieve together.”
