AVIA-GIS NV

“Agriculture and Veterinary Information and Analysis” is a Belgian SME founded in 2001 that specializes in the collection, processing and analysis of spatial information as a basis for the development of data driven space-time information systems applied to veterinary and public health in general and (emerging) zoonoses and vector-borne diseases (VBD) in particular. We focus on the application of state of the art techniques that broaden the scope of conventional analyses and help bridge the gap between research and decision-making including: geographical information systems (GIS), spatial modeling and analysis, earth observation (EO) through satellites and drones, and satellite navigation (EGNSS).

Avia-GIS is active in two main domains: (1) optimized health information systems and (2) precision pest management solutions. Within these domains Avia-GIS offers a range of services to research teams, governmental agencies, international organizations and the industry. Our products generate high quality data, save time and reduce costs.

The company has a multidisciplinary team of 14 staff members including veterinarians, agricultural engineers, biologists, IT specialists and business developers. In addition to General Services (GS) and software development (IT), the Company hosts two specialized Technical Units: the Health Information Systems Unit (HIS) and the Precision Pest Management Unit (PPM).

UNIVERSITE CATHOLIQUE DE LOUVAIN (UCL)

UCL-CTMA is a mixed academic-clinical biotechnological platform, with strong research activities in infectious diseases, among which deep sequencing and diagnostic developments for on-site use and news tests to identify and characterize biowarfare agents (partnership with the Belgian Defence). UCL-CTMA has developed and owns an operational deployable analytical capacity (RRML B-LiFE for identification of life-threatening pathogens (e.g., monkeypox, Ebola, resistant tuberculosis, SARS-Cov-2, etc.) with extensive practical use of the mobile capacity (such as during the recent deployment in Italy in 2020 for COVID-19 pandemic response, Ebola West Africa outbreak in 2014-2015), and international training exercises (last one in Kazan in October 2021). The B-LiFE will be used as technological incubator for R&D&I activities developed in the framework of the current project and their evaluation during field exercises. UCL-CTMA participates and supports the MOBVEC consortium based on its large experience as practitioner, technology provider and EU collaborative projects manager.

The National Institute of Health Doutor Ricardo Jorge (INSA)

INSA develops its activity as a State Laboratory of the health sector, National Reference Laboratory and National Health Observatory. Its main mission is to contribute to gains in public health, either on the laboratory dimension or through specialized health care, to provide the Ministry of Health with the adequate data for knowledge-based decision-making essential to define the national health policy, to follow the guidelines defined by the Ministry of Health and to answer the questions raised by the scientific community and the society. INSA ensures its mission through research and technological development, epidemiological and health services research, laboratory quality assurance through external evaluation, diffusion of scientific culture, fostering capacities, knowledge and skills through training programs and by providing specialized services in several domains including the prevention of genetic diseases. INSA develops several R&D activities on the health sciences domain, with a special focus on epidemiology, environmental health, food and nutrition, genetics, proteomics, health services, infectious diseases, chronic diseases and health promotion. The Centre for Vectors and infectious Diseases (CEVDI) is part of the Epidemiological Surveillance and Reference Unit of the Department of Infectious Diseases (DDI), it also acts as a strengthening laboratory for the DDI Emergency Response and Biopreparation Unit.

The Blanes Center for Advanced Studies (CEAB)

CEAB is a research institute belonging to the Higher Council of Scientific Investigations (CSIC), an institution depending upon the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness. The CEAB started its activity in October 1985 and it currently focuses its research on the fields of ecology and organism biology, both in sea and continental waters ecosystems.

The research being carried out at the CEAB has as general aims those of identifying the diversity of organisms and understanding their functions and interactions in nature, as well as the application of this knowledge to the rational use and management of the resources of our planet and the prediction of responses to environmental changes. We work with a wide range of studies and approaches, from biochemical and genetic composition of organisms to the structure and dynamics of populations and ecosystems.

The CEAB aims at being a worldwide reputed centre and a national reference concerning marine biology, limnology and ecology. Its purpose is the development of a creative and technically up-to-date research with solid conceptual foundations, thus contributing to the growth of knowledge and its applications in order to face the challenges posed by the development of a sustainable society.
