Workshop on implementing artificial intelligence (AI) for threat detection and epidemic intelligence
16th & 23rd of September 2025
Background
The Regulation (EU) 2022/2370 amending the ECDC founding regulation establishes that ECDC should perform threat detection and surveillance, including development of digital platforms and applications and the use of digital technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) for data collection and analysis.
Moreover, article 14 of the Regulation (EU) 2022/2371 on serious cross-border threats to health defines the need of ensuring the “continued development of the digital platform for surveillance”, including the application of “artificial intelligence for data validation, analysis and automated reporting, including statistical reporting”.
In 2024, ECDC organised a two-day workshop on AI awareness for threat detection and epidemic intelligence in Stockholm, Sweden. Representatives from 23 EU/EEA Member States and three additional institutions participated in the workshop.
ECDC is organising a workshop on implementing AI for threat detection and epidemic intelligence. The workshop will be held online on 16th and 23rd of September 2025. The workshop intends to build upon the knowledge gained in the 2024 workshop on AI awareness, but having attended this is not a pre- requisite for the workshop in 2025 and material of the 2024 workshop will be made available to all participants.
Scope and purpose
The main objective of this workshop is to increase the participants’ ability to identify specific opportunities for AI implementation in their respective organisations.
The specific objectives are:
• Sharing knowledge, lessons learnings, and ideas among EU/EEA Member States on ongoing AI initiatives.
• Increasing understanding of the needed data and AI capabilities in the organisation to get started on specific AI initiatives.
• Understanding how the value and success of AI initiatives for public health can be assessed. • Improving the ability to recognise when AI initiatives should be developed on a national versus
international level and/or using open source or commercial solutions.
Participants
The participants of this workshop will be Operational Contact Points for Epidemic Intelligence, National Focal Points for Threat detection, EWRS and IHR (including team members working on threat detection activities), and other key stakeholders, with no- or limited experience on implementing AI for threat detection and epidemic intelligence.
