Objective 02: To identify and, where feasible, initiate areas for joint collaboration in research and surveillance, by developing an expert scientist exchange programme involving the funding of travel grants to up to 25 European scientists over 3 years.

Objective 03: To disseminate the accrued joint knowledge to other scientists and stakeholders by developing:

• a public website within 3 months of the start of the project,

• ensuring publication of workshop proceedings within 3 months of each workshop, and
