EVORA Webinar | Diagnostic Development Under Pressure

28 May 2026 | 12:00–13:00 CEST (Paris time)


When a rare or emerging pathogen appears, how quickly can developers access the right materials, data, validation pathways and regulatory clarity?

The development of infectious disease diagnostics depends on the ability to access, integrate, and use pathogen data alongside biological materials—within a rapidly evolving regulatory landscape.
Delays in diagnostic pipelines are no longer driven solely by scientific challenges. Issues related to data provenance, metadata completeness, conditions of use, and access to reference materials are critical factors affecting validation, compliance, and time-to-market.
These are the kind of practical questions we will address in the EVORA industry webinar.

🚨Webinar — Diagnostic Development Under Pressure


In 1 hour, we will look beyond general preparedness and focus on where delays actually occur in diagnostic and product development — and what can be done earlier to reduce them.



This is not a theoretical session. You will hear about:
  • IVDR in Practice: identifying where regulatory and operational bottlenecks arise.
  • Accessing and Using Pathogen Data: navigating data origin, interoperability, and reuse constraints.
  • How EVA supports diagnostic development: enabling access to well-characterised materials and validation resources.

Organised in the framework of EVORA, a European initiative supporting outbreak response through coordinated access to pathogen resources and expertise, this webinar addresses key challenges in infectious disease diagnostics. The session will highlight how coordinated research infrastructures can support more efficient and robust diagnostic development workflows.

Who should attend?


The webinar is designed to help industry actors anticipate issues earlier, identify what they need from public research infrastructures, and make more informed decisions before the next crisis escalates. Researchers, bio-informaticians, public health laboratories, and diagnostic developers working at the interface of infectious diseases, data and infrastructures may also benefit from this webinar.
