The purpose of this workshop is to facilitate information exchange between public, academic and private-sector stakeholders on current and planned areas of research, identify shared priorities and knowledge gaps, and explore opportunities for future collaboration in support of preparedness and response efforts. This work will notably contribute to the preparation of the Partnership’s second phase, a process that will continue until April 2027

The specific objectives of this workshop are the following:

• Gather private sector expectations, needs and potential contributions
• Give industry early visibility into forthcoming priorities within the Partnership
• Present legal, financial and administrative options for private participation
• Showcase existing complementarities between academic research, pre-clinical research platforms, clinical research networks, public health authorities and private sector actors in inter-pandemic periods and during crises.
• Identify where private sector engagement can contribute to BE READY's outcomes
• Develop operational recommendations for BE READY Phase 2 and follow-up discussions.
