• Prioritize surveillance targets, including respiratory viruses, AMR, and chemical substances, with a focus on geographical and technical aspects.
• Explore the integration of wastewater-based surveillance data into public health frameworks, with insights from international and cross-sectoral perspectives.
• Foster collaboration to address shared challenges in public health preparedness and response.
