Dear colleagues,

Please find below a list of training courses and other events that the Animal Production and Health Section of the Joint FAO/IAEA Division of Nuclear Techniques in Food and Agriculture is organizing for 2020. If interested in participating or receiving additional information please contact me or Fabia BAPTISTA at [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> . We would appreciate if you could distribute this information to other possibly interested parties.

Best regards,

Daniela

Training Course on the Organization of Interlaboratory Comparisons of Diagnostic Tests for Transboundary Animal and Zoonotic Diseases
20 to 24 April 2020, Gaborone, Botswana
The purpose of the event is to support veterinary laboratories in organizing and conducting interlaboratory comparisons to ensure the quality of laboratory test results and to sustain their quality systems and accreditation processes.

Consultancy Meeting on Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR) Serological Assays for Wildlife and Livestock Species: Laboratory Tests Comparison and Validation
4 to 8 May 2020, IAEA Laboratories, Seibersdorf, Austria
The purpose of the event is to compare the performances of the serological tests currently available as well as some of the newest tests in order to select the most appropriated assays to be validated on both livestock and wildlife species and then transferred to Member States. The outcome of this consultancy meeting will contribute to the purpose of the Technical Meeting on Technical Meeting on the Use of Laboratory Techniques to Support the Peste des Petits Ruminants Global Eradication Programme which is organized from 11 to 15 May 2020.

Technical Meeting on the Use of Laboratory Techniques to Support the Peste des Petits Ruminants Global Eradication Programme
11 to 15 May 2020, IAEA Laboratories, Seibersdorf, and IAEA Headquarters, Vienna, Austria
The purpose of the event is to identify and select laboratory tests that will contribute to the implementation of the Peste des Petits Ruminants Global Eradication Programme and to enable partners of the Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory Network (VETLAB Network) to discuss diagnosis gaps and collaborative research opportunities.

Training Course on the Organization of Interlaboratory Comparisons of Diagnostic Tests for Transboundary Animal and Zoonotic Diseases
15 to 26 June 2020, IAEA Laboratories, Seibersdorf, and IAEA Headquarters, Vienna, Austria
This training aims to strengthen the capacity of the Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory (VETLAB) Network partner laboratories in selecting and applying suitable algorithms and nuclear-derived/molecular assays for the detection and the characterization of major pathogens causing transboundary and zoonotic diseases. During the first week, the participants will receive an introduction of the principle and applications of next-generation sequencing (NGS) and Nanopore sequencing with focus on ASF, Capripox and PPR. During the second week, the participants will take part in the FAO/IAEA International Symposium on Sustainable Animal Production and Health.

Training Course for Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory Network Partners on Sequencing and Bioinformatics
22 June to 3 July 2020, IAEA Laboratories, Seibersdorf, and IAEA Headquarters, Vienna, Austria
The purpose of the training is to strengthen the capacity of the Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory (VETLAB) Network partner laboratories in using conventional and new sequencing technologies and the relevant bioinformatic tools for the accurate identification of pathogens causing transboundary animal and zoonotic diseases. During the first week, the participants will take part in the FAO/IAEA International Symposium on Sustainable Animal Production and Health. During the second week, the participants will receive practical training in phylogenetic analysis and bioinformatics.

Coordination Meeting of the Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory Network with Directors of African and Asian Veterinary Laboratories
22 to 26 June 2020, IAEA Headquarters, Vienna, Austria
The purpose of the event is to update partners on the activities of the Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory Network (VETLAB Network) and to discuss the main challenges and gaps in implementing animal and zoonotic diseases diagnosis.

Second Research Coordination Meeting on the Use of Stable Isotopes to Trace Bird Migrations and Molecular Nuclear Techniques to Investigate the Epidemiology and Ecology of the Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (Phase II)
22 to 26 June 2020, IAEA Headquarters, Vienna, Austria
The purpose of the event is to review the samples collected for analysing avian influenza and other diseases transmitted by migratory birds, as well as the feather samples collected for determining birds' origin.

Third Research Coordination Meeting on Application of Nuclear and Genomic Tools to Enable the Selection of Animals with Enhanced Productivity Traits
22 to 26 June 2020, IAEA Headquarters, Vienna, Austria
The purpose of the event is to present the final research reports of individual and technical contract holders; to identify the most relevant achievements of the coordinated research project (CRP); and to discuss possible avenues for research work that could be supported by a new CRP in this area.

Fifth Research Coordination Meeting on Early Detection of Transboundary Animal Diseases (TADs) to Facilitate Prevention and Control through a Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory Network (VETLAB Network)
22 to 26 June 2020, IAEA Headquarters, Vienna, Austria
The purpose of the event is to review the serological and molecular standards produced for the priority diseases covered by the project, and, if necessary, to make adjustments to the project work plan.

International Symposium on Sustainable Animal Production and Health - Current Status and Way Forward
22 to 26 June 2020, IAEA Headquarters, Vienna, Austria
The purpose of the event is to provide information and to share knowledge on modern and novel technologies in animal production and health and their application to support sustainable livestock production systems.
