EpiSouth Network Advisory Board

The EpiSouth Advisory Board (AB) is composed by international experts (from EU and non EU Institutions)  and representatives of the Institutions acting as collaborating partners of the EpiSouth Project (i.e. HSC, SANCO, EAHC, DEVCO, ECDC, WHO) but not involved in its management and implementation, with the role of advising  the Project Coordination and the Steering Committee especially on technical critical  issues.

Draft of guidelines and strategic documents produced by the Project will be forwarded to the AB Members for their comments and recommendations before finalisation and dissemination.

The consultation for request of specific advise will be done by the coordination team through e-mail or teleconferences. In addition, a dedicated area for the AB members has been open in the Network Working Area (NWA) of EpiSouth web site to allow documents uploading/downloading (documents area)  and information exchanging and discussion (forum).

The AB Members will be invited to the Project Meetings and might be invited in other occasions (Steering Committee, Steering Team Meetings, etc.) according to the needs.
