“The burden of endemic respiratory disease in pigs: developing farm-level tools to monitor pig health and improve disease control” – is the title of the second edition of the GBADs and DECIDE seminar series hosted by Marloes Boeters (UU) and Dr. Fernanda Dórea; which took place on Wednesday, May 17, 2023. Watch the recording below:
From March 22-24, the DECIDE consortium attended this year’s SVEPM (Society for Veterinary Epidemiology and Preventive Medicine) conference and annual general meeting in Toulouse, France. The conference brought together researchers, practitioners, and industry experts from the animal sciences field for a valuable exchange of knowledge and ideas. Among the notable discussions, the attending DECIDE consortium
On Tuesday, 28 February 2023, DECIDE and GBADs hosted the first session of their joint online seminar series. Under the title “GBADs and DECIDE – exploring the burden of animal diseases and ranking of disease intervention” – DECIDE project coordinator Gerdien van Schaik (UU) and GBADs Programme director Jonathan Rushton (UoL) presented both projects and
Last week, the DECIDE consortium kicked off the new year by holding the third DECIDE (online) General Assembly. The meeting followed a two-tier approach, structuring the DECIDE progress based on the work packages on the one hand, and on the different data groups / pilot implementations on the other. This allowed all project partners to
“Collecting stakeholder perspectives on animal health and welfare: Needs and challenges related to data use analysis visualisations and sharing” – is the title of the VPHI-webinar hosted by Dr. Angela Bearth (ETHZ) next week, Tuesday 15 November 2022. No registration needed. How do the social sciences and veterinary sciences intersect? What methodological approaches are applied
From September 26-30, 2022, the DECIDE project partners at the University of Copenhagen (UCPH) hosted their first annual DECIDE workshop on state space models for animal health surveillance. The modeling workshops will take place annually and are open for members of the DECIDE consortium. For this first workshop, 16 members of the DECIDE consortium, including
From August 7-12, 2022, members of the DECIDE consortium attended the 16th International Symposium of Veterinary Epidemiology and Economics (ISVEE), in Halifax, Canada, to share and discuss the progress of the DECIDE project with fellow leading Animal Health scientists. As announced in our last news article, Marloes Boeters (UU), Annette Boerlage (SRUC), Cecilie S Walde
The DECIDE project will be presented at the 16th International Symposium of Veterinary Epidemiology and Economics (ISVEE), taking place from August 7 – 12, 2022 in Halifax, Canada. Join us for the following presentations to learn more about DECIDE and the ongoing work in the project: “The DECIDE project: from surveillance data to decision support
After an online consortium meeting at the beginning of this year, the DECIDE consortium was finally able to meet up for its first in-person general assembly in Zurich, Switzerland. Bringing together around 50 people, the meeting took place from June 7-8, 2022 and was kindly hosted by our project partner ETH Zürich. Project coordinator Gerdien
It has been a while since the DECIDE project team was able to meet fellow scientists and stakeholders in person – but with life picking back up, on-site meetings & conferences did too. Accordingly, members of the DECIDE consortium started to present the project at events in front of real people instead of computer screens.
