Scotland’s Assets for Epidemic Preparedness : Workshop at the University of Strathclyde

Abstract

MOSAEC (Mobilising Scotland's Assets in equitable ways for Epidemic Control) seeks to develop interdisciplinary research ideas and teams that will ensure we are better prepared for future epidemics. The focus of this workshop was on Scotland’s assets and how these can be used to improve epidemic preparedness and reduce inequalities. A series of presentations provided context for the diverse assets employed in epidemic response with discussions around previous use of assets, opportunities to employ other assets and the steps needed to operationalise key assets
