The PANDA project investigates the transmission of pathogens from animals to humans in Thailand and Laos, aiming to develop sustainable preventive measures against future pandemics.

The convention provided an opportunity to share experiences, foster networking and discuss overarching topics between the project members of three funding initiatives within the funding program “Global Issues – Integrating Different Perspectives”.
