by ESWI
A major transformation of the ESWI website took place in 2022, which now features a comprehensive Education Hub. It provides a unique open access portal for acute respiratory virus information and includes a user-friendly search engine -searchable by keyword, topic, medium, risk group/NCD, network. It aims to become THE Educational Reference Centre for ESWI’s main target audience: scientists, clinicians, policymakers, but also for the general public. The Education Hub provides links to important scientific papers, reviewed by the ESWI Board members, and other online educational activities such as podcasts, webinars, recordings of conferences, summits, policy recommendations, reports, awareness campaigns, articles , etc.
