Contract staff

ECDC plans to recruit one person for the above-mentioned vacancy to support the Early Warning and Response System (EWRS) project. ECDC also aims to establish a reserve list, which may be used for any future vacancies in the area. The EWRS enables the European Commission and public health authorities of EU/EEA Member States to be in permanent communication for the purpose of preparedness, early warning and response, and determining the measures that may be required to protect public health. ECDC supports the European Commission with the operation and development of the platform. The EWRS has its basis in the serious cross-border threats to health Regulation1, adopted by the Council on 23 November 2022, and the Commission Implementing Decision 2017/253/EU2. The European Commission, with the support of ECDC, seeks to further develop the EWRS to increase its effective and efficient use when dealing with serious cross-border threats to health. In addition, ECDC has developed a platform, called EpiPulse, which is intended for the collection and reporting of epidemiological data linked to communicable disease events, the documentation and management of these events and production of daily and weekly reports describing ongoing communicable disease threats. EpiPulse complements the EWRS system and is in the process of being linked with EWRS to allow for both systems to have access to real time epidemiological information on serious cross border threats to health.
