REACTing

REACTing is a collaborative network of major French research institutions, coordinated by Inserm (French National Institute of Health and Medical Research), which aims to optimise research capacity during epidemics & improve research preparedness in between epidemics through multi-disciplinary collaboration. REACTing aims to forge a new dynamic to face health emergency situations by contributing to national health decisions and to international efforts to control emerging infectious threats. It covers a wide array of research fields in human and animal health: surveillance, public health, clinical research, mathematical modelling, diagnosis and pathogen characterization, social sciences and ethical and regulatory capacities. REACTing is a multi-disciplinary project, coordinated by Inserm under the aegis of Aviesan, the French National Alliance for Life Sciences and Health. It brings together excellent research groups, institutions and laboratories in order to prepare and deal with unforeseeable emerging infectious threats.
