The 84th Advisory Forum Meeting: A Scientific Collaboration Hub
The Advisory Forum, a pivotal gathering of scientific minds, will convene from February 17th to 18th, 2026, in the heart of Stockholm, Sweden. This annual event, hosted by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), serves as a vital platform for collaboration and knowledge exchange within the realm of public health.
A Scientific Advisory Board
Comprising senior representatives from national public health institutes and agencies, the Advisory Forum is a diverse group of experts. They are nominated by Member States based on their scientific prowess and public health expertise. A unique feature is the inclusion of a public health official from the European Commission, ensuring a comprehensive perspective. The forum also welcomes observers from European scientific associations and civil society groups, fostering a rich exchange of ideas.
Synergy and Information Exchange
The primary purpose of the Advisory Forum is to provide scientific guidance to the ECDC Director. By sharing insights and pooling health knowledge, the forum facilitates a deeper understanding of public health challenges. This collaborative approach is further strengthened by the presence of the World Health Organization (WHO), invited by the ECDC Director, to ensure synergy in their collective efforts.
Annual Gatherings for Progress
The Advisory Forum convenes at least four times annually, each meeting serving as a catalyst for progress. This particular gathering, held via audio conference, will undoubtedly spark insightful discussions and shape the trajectory of public health initiatives across Europe.
