From July 8 to 10, the Instituto Nacional de Saúde Doutor Ricardo Jorge (INSA) organized two events related to the MOBVEC project, which aims to develop innovative mobile bio-laboratories capable of responding to outbreaks of vector-borne diseases. The initiatives brought together around 20 participants and included the first consortium meeting of the project’s second year, as well as a simulation exercise of the MOBVEC mobile laboratory.
