Pandemics have the potential to disrupt our daily lives and to affect every part of society. SARS-CoV-2 causing COVID-19 disease painfully
showed how responding too late, in a fragmented mannar and/or with too little coordination across different sectors and countries, led to huge
human and economic costs. ESCAPE’s main objective is to improve efficiency and scalability of early pandemic response plans by providing
evidence-based guidelines, standardised research protocols, retrospective insights, and digital solutions that will support scientists in producing
and integrating evidence and inform public health authorities in taking decisions to avert or reduce disease and societal burden. The project will
provide knowledge and tools that will enhance Europe’s preparedness for a pandemic of pathogen X. These include a science-based blueprint for
faster and better decision-making in managing pandemics, tools and frameworks to improve data availability, collection and sharing, as well as
advanced analytics and models to understand and project transmission dynamics of pathogen X under candidate response scenarios. ESCAPE
will also identify determinants of success and failure in managing pathogen X based on the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, helping to develop effective
response strategies for future pandemics. In addition, the project will contribute to fostering a multi-stakeholder intelligent community allowing
improved knowledge sharing and cooperation between policy-makers, the scientific community, the media and the public, ensuring a much more
effective response to future pandemics. In the long-term, by improving pandemic preparedness and the effectiveness of response to a pandemic of
pathogen X, the project will contribute to reducing health burden and potential negative societal and economic consequences during pandemics,
as well as increase the confidence of policy makers and the public in science-based solutions
