Webinar: By the Community, For the Crisis: the updated Swedish Pathogens Portal
November 18, 2026 @ 10:00 – 11:00 CET
Join us for a webinar exploring how the Swedish Pathogens Portal supports infectious disease research, data sharing and pandemic preparedness in Sweden.
Following the portal’s biggest update since its launch in 2020, this webinar will introduce new and improved features developed in response to feedback from the research community.
These features include:
– An updated interface to make the portal easier to navigate and use.
– Clearer guidance on FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable) data management to support researchers in sharing and managing their data.
– The ability to dynamically gather and collate data on a greater diversity of pathogens and topics.
– Expanded dashboard capabilities, enabling researchers to explore and present more complex datasets through interactive visualisations.
– The ability for research groups to update data directly within the portal.
Liane Hughes, Project Leader of the Swedish Pathogens Portal, will introduce these latest developments and explain how researchers can use the portal in practice. Jaclyn Quin and Anna Székely will share how the portal supports their research. The webinar will also include speakers from the Pandemic Laboratory Preparedness (PLP) Program, to share the importance of the portal to the program.
Registration
Please register before November 17 (18.00 CEST).
