Since 1 January 2025, the first six EU reference laboratories (EURLs) for public health have been operational and will now carry out activities for the next seven years.
The EURLs, which bring together consortia of scientific expertise from across the EU, contribute to improving EU preparedness and ensuring a swift detection and response in case of outbreaks.
They will thus strengthen the EU's defences in the face of serious cross-border health threats.
