By defining strategic objectives for the network of influenza laboratories that have national influenza centre status or national function within European Union Member States, Iceland and Norway, it is possible to align their priorities in undertaking virological surveillance of influenza. This will help maintain and develop the network to meet and adapt to new challenges over the next 3-5 years and underpin a longer-term strategy over 5-10 years. We analysed the key activities undertaken by influenza reference laboratories in Europe and categorised them into a framework of four key strategic objectives areas: enhancing laboratory capability, ensuring laboratory capacity, providing emergency response and translating laboratory data into information for public health action. We make recommendations on the priority areas for future development.
通过为具有国家流感中心地位或在欧盟成员国、冰岛和挪威具有国家职能的流感实验室网络定义战略目标，可以调整它们在进行流感病毒学监测方面的优先事项。这将有助于维护和发展网络，以应对未来 3-5 年内的新挑战，并为 5-10 年内的长期战略提供支持。我们分析了欧洲流感参考实验室开展的主要活动，并将它们归入四个关键战略目标领域的框架：提高实验室能力、确保实验室能力、提供应急响应以及将实验室数据转化为公共卫生行动信息。我们就未来发展的优先领域提出了建议。
