EJP CARE - SVA

This project is part of the One Health European Joint Project CARE (Cross-sectoral framework for quality Assurance Resources for countries in the European Union). The objective of CARE is to enhance collaboration between the public health, food and animal health sectors across the EU, in order to increase joint preparedness, in relation to bacterial zoonotic (especially foodborne) infections. One of the main topics of CARE is to provide a collection of reference materials (RM) of zoonotic pathogens from different sectors to be used e.g., for validation of methods and organisation of proficiency tests.
