Objective
The PANDA project aims to strengthen competencies through reinforcing and expanding the existing networks of the EC and National Reference Laboratories for aquatic animal diseases and link these to other research institutes and diagnostic laboratories in Europe and elsewhere, in order to establish an enlarged and permanent network of experts on a voluntary basis. In addition to enhancing exchange of knowledge, skills and scientific opinion in the area of aquatic animal health, a major purpose of the network will be to provide the EC with a comprehensive source of scientific information and advice on issues related to policy and legislation in this area within the EU. A project web site will be established early in the work programme to disseminate information about the project, its objectives, progress and output. Experts in the different fields of aquatic animal health will be invited to submit their details to a database via the project web site. The database of experts will provide the lead contractor for each work package with a target group for electronic discussion forums on matters prioritised by the steering group according to the current need for scientific information in support of EU policy as identified in the call for proposals. The network activities will focus on (i) risk analysis of exotic emerging and re-emerging disease hazards, (ii) an epidemiology database and methods for disease surveillance and containment, (iii) evaluation of diagnostic methods and recommendations for standardisation and validation (iv) environmentally safe strategies for disease control, and (v) training needs and opportunities in research and diagnostics. Findings emerging from the activity of the networks will be disseminated to all stakeholders by the steering group via the project web site and will also be collated into the final report. Recommendations will be made concerning the future maintenance of the permamant network established by the project.
