New on the ABS Focal Point: Pandemic Influenza Preparedness (PIP) Framework
Are you working with influenza viruses? Your genetic material may be in scope of the Pandemic Influenza Preparedness (PIP) Framework.
The PIP Framework is an international specialised Access and Benefit-Sharing instrument created to improve pandemic influenza preparedness and response. Through the Global Influenza Surveillance and Response System (GISRS), influenza viruses with human pandemic potential and access to vaccines and other benefits are shared to fight pandemic influenza globally.
Do you want to know more about the GISRS, the scope of the PIP Framework and the relation of the PIP Framework to other ABS-instruments? Read the new section about the PIP-Framework on the ABS Focal Point website.
