Overview of all project outputs and achievements (March 2015)

The scientific, technological and related needs to prevent, control or mitigate animal health and zoonotic challenges in the next 20 years. Produced as a deliverable 5.2 under Work Package 5 of STAR-IDAZ.

This report presents the outcomes of the second workshop of the FORE-Med initiative (Foresight project for the Mediterranean area), that was held in November 2014. The project, carried out between 2013-2014, under the auspices of the Italian Ministry of Health, has the aim of producing the first Strategic Research Agenda (SRA) for animal health for the Mediterranean.

An OFFLU Agenda for Influenza Research Priorities in Animal Species (OIE & FAO) was developed in January 2011 and in April 2014 OFFLU and STAR-IDAZ partnered to develop a focused strategic research agenda. Both reports are accessible below.
