Following our partners from VEO, MOOD presented at the One Health European Joint Programme Cogwheel Workshop, 25 February 2021.

The cogwheel workshops have the following purposes:

• Integrative action
• Alignment with strategic initiatives at EU level
• Identify synergies, joint priorities and opportunities for collaboration
• Avoid overlaps

MOOD and VEO representatives presented the projects and participated in a discussion with OHEJP members.

According to OHEJP, this was the most popular Cogwheel workshop (highest attendance, 70 registered attendees) of the 7 cogwheel workshops they have held.

A bonus of the cogwheel workshop was the further interaction between VEO and MOOD. Topics included data sharing, pathogens covered by each project and opportunities and challenges introduced by COVID-19.
