Galway Bay FM Newsroom – The NUI Galway led PANDEM-2 project has joined forces with nine other EU research groups to strengthen Europe’s capacity against future crises.
PANDEM-2 aims to prepare Europe for future pandemics through innovations in training and to build capacity between EU member states responding to pandemics on a cross-border basis.
The project has been awarded almost 10 million euro in funding and is one of many in the PREPARE cluster that has recently received this support from the European Commission to work on different aspects of crisis management.
With a combined funding of €72 million, each project in PREPARE has its own distinct aims and challenges.
NUIG Professor and Coordinator of PANDEM-2 Máire Connolly says the benefit of the collaboration is that a wide range of issues are being covered.
