Building PREZODE\u2019s International Platform
<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As part of PREZODE\u2019s key actions to prevent emerging zoonotic diseases, the development of an international platform is a strategic priority. The International Data Working Group (IDWG) was established in September 2024 for that purpose.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

An international and interdisciplinary community<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

IDWG members bring expertise in data management and analysis through a One Health approach, representing international organisations, universities, research centres, the private sector and governments. Initially comprising 25 specialists from all regions of the world, the group reaches success with a growing number of experts. As of March 31 2025, the IWG encompasses 57 active participants sharing their knowledge and commitment.<\/strong> To reflect this natural evolution and continued expansion, the group recently adopted the name IDWG-e<\/strong> (extended).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The IDWG-e has embraced a highly participatory approach, incorporating UX experience techniques and agile methodologies. Through a system of volunteer co-chairs, iterative collaboration, and dynamic working groups, the team maximises each specialist\u2019s contributions according to their availability and interests. All proposals and developments are shared in plenary meetings to ensure a comprehensive and cohesive vision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDWG-e is designed as an open and dynamic space where any interested expert can join the group and contribute according to their availability and expertise. It includes specialists from the five Pillar Working Groups of PREZODE, as well as other PREZODE experts who have chosen to actively participate in the development of the platform, thus strengthening a constantly expanding collaborative network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First step for PREZODE’s future data platform<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Based on the needs identified between 2021 and 2024 thanks to a collective effort and PREZODE regional and scientific workshops, the group drafted a solid methodology. In February 2025, the IDWG-e presented the conceptual framework for PREZODE\u2019s future data platform to the Steering Committee\u2014marking a key milestone in the creation of a global tool for the prevention of emerging zoonotic diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to the commitment of its members and the support of the international community, IDWG-e will continue to evolve, turning the vision of a global platform into a concrete reality for the benefit of all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
