Project goals

This is a project aimed at harmonizing sampling, analysis, and data evaluation, primarily from wastewater, based on the principles of wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE). The goal is to enable shared dissemination and communication of data across the continent, ensuring that analyses and their interpretations are standardized. An integral part of the project is also the optimization of spatial requirements (laboratory infrastructure) and workforce effort needed to carry out WBE effectively.
