Summary • ECDC proposes to issue the 2025 call for application for EURLs for public health in the area of respiratory viruses to ensure continued laboratory support and capacity-building activities for Europe on these high importance/high impact pathogens. • The area of respiratory viruses is suggested to be covered in one EURL by a consortium of up to five partner institutes. • A list of EURLs for implementation in subsequent calls beyond 2025 is proposed and in addition a list of diseases/health issues under consideration for EURL implementation is provided. • Changes to the processes for application, evaluation and designation of EURLs are proposed. 2. Background In July 2023, the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Health and Food Safety (DG SANTE) requested that ECDC provide it with advice on the establishment of EURLs for public health (from here on ‘EURLs’), in order to support DG SANTE in implementing responsibilities in this area as set out in Regulations 2022/2370 and 2022/2371 [1,2]. The request asked for advice both on general processes for the implementation of EURLs, as well as a list of proposed EURLs for communicable diseases. In response, ECDC issued an opinion on the implementation of EURLs for public health in July 2023, with a revised version issued in April 2024 [3,4]. While these documents were drafted by ECDC, the National Microbiology Focal Points (NMFPs) were consulted on the contents prior to the documents being shared with DG SANTE. Since the general process for the implementation of EURLs for public health is now largely stable, the previous opinion has been split into two documents: • A technical report on the ‘Establishment of EU Reference Laboratories for public health in Europe’. This technical report contains a description of the general EURL implementation process, as well as a list of already established EURLs. • This rapid scientific advice on the designation of future EURLs for public health. This document contains recommendations on the EURL(s) for public health to be implemented under the next EU4Health Annual Work Programme as well as in future years, and a list of diseases/health issues for which the implementation RAPID SCIENTIFIC ADVICE Rapid ECDC advice on the designation of future European Reference Laboratories for public health, June 2025 ECDC RAPID SCIENTIFIC ADVICE Designation of future European Reference Laboratories for public health – 2025 2 of EURLs is still under consideration. When relevant, it also contains recommendations for changes to the steps of the general EURL implementation process.
