♦ 24 February 2015 ♦

The annual meeting for the EURL for rabies will take place this year in Zagreb, Croatia. The meeting will be held on the same basis than the last one, over 2 half days, on 27th May afternoon and 28th May 2015 morning. Registration is currently ongoing. The agenda will include talks from the National Reference Laboratories and the EURL on molecular biology analysis for rabies diagnosis and the ongoing standardisation of these methods at a European level. The results of the inter-laboratory tests for both diagnosis and biomarker assessment organised by the EURL for rabies in 2014 will be presented, completed with a synthesis of the results of the tests from the former years, and an analysis of the trend of performance over time. Presentations on news and research achievements from some colleagues will also be made during this meeting. On 27th May evening, a dinner will be kindly organised by the Croatian National Reference Laboratory for rabies.
