Such activities may include new national regulatory approaches and capacity building (technical, legislative or governance-focused), research, simulation exercises, networking, novel trainings, policy development, public-private partnerships, and inter-sectoral cooperation (particularly between animal health, public health and security sectors).

The poster should present interesting information clearly and concisely.

Entries must credit the individuals and organisations which have supported the work.
