The OMNI-RÉUNIS Super Spreader Seminar Series (SSSS) encourages Highly Qualified Personnel (HQPs, including postdocs and graduate students), faculty members and EIDM network affiliates to present their research, promote their ideas, share their research experiences, and establish connections among the various branches of the network. It is a platform to spread scientific knowledge about the One Health research framework and showcase the research progress of the 30+ OMNI-RÉUNIS HQPs within the network’s scientific research community. These seminars facilitate knowledge exchange within OMNI-RÉUNIS, the Emerging Infectious Disease Modelling (EIDM) networks, and the collaborating scientific community.
