Work Packages (WPs) WP WP1 - Management and coordination WP2 - Analysis of animal health and food security WP3 - Animal Health Science (Epidemiology) WP4 - Animal Health Science (Laboratories) WP5 - Supporting policy dialogue WP6 - Platform development WP7 - Exchanges and capacity building WP8 - Dissemination and sustainability Activities Set up the basis for the project (e.g. gender strategy, advisory board, consortium agreement, etc) and ensure the smooth day-to-day coordination of activities and cooperation among partners; Lay the technical foundations of the project by identifying research areas where joint actions are needed and future project activities should focus. WP3 and WP4 will build on its conclusions; Focus on veterinary epidemiology, exchanging knowledge and fostering cooperation in priority areas/diseases; Similar to WP3, WP4 will focus on diagnostic technologies for early and rapid detection of animal pathogens; Provide the framework (which will be fed by evidence from other WPs, especially WP3 and WP4) and support international policy dialogue; Provide all relevant information about the project, EU-China cooperation and ongoing, past and future activities, and will generate the online, community-building exchange of experiences; Facilitate short-term exchanges and training programmes between European and Chinese research organisations to enhance existing collaborations and encourage new partnerships; Runs in parallel with the other WPs over the project lifetime, and focuses on maximising the project s visibility.
