The EUVABECO consortium gathered for a face-to-face meeting in Krakow, Poland, on 22–23 September 2025. Hosted by the Jagiellonian University Medical College’s Institute of Public Health, the meeting brought together project partners to review progress, share experiences, and plan the next stages of the initiative.
The first day opened with updates on pilot activities, followed by a keynote lecture from Professor Paradowska, National Consultant in Epidemiology and Deputy Chief of the Department of Epidemiology of Infectious Diseases and Surveillance at the National Institute of Public Health – National Institute of Hygiene in Warsaw. Professor Paradowska presented an overview of vaccination status and progress in Poland.
The afternoon focused on refining the communication strategy to ensure that EUVABECO’s tool implementation packages are well accessed, received, and understood by Member States. Discussions continued informally over dinner in Krakow’s historic Kazimierz district, fostering stronger collaboration among partners.
The second day centred on evaluation, with partners discussing data analysis, lessons learned, and next steps in implementation.
The Krakow meeting reinforced EUVABECO’s shared commitment to strengthening vaccination systems across Europe, setting a clear direction for the next phase of the project.
