Description

The Global Health Centre at the Geneva Graduate Institute is pleased to invite you to a webinar on how pathogen data was shared during the 2026 Ebola and hantavirus outbreaks, and the implications of these experiences for the design of the Pathogen Access and Benefit-Sharing (PABS) system under the WHO Pandemic Agreement. 

The discussion will begin with a concise overview of database policy options and the factors that influence scientists’ choices between open access or restricted-use options, followed by a moderated discussion on the policy implications for PABS.
