European Pathways for Vaccination Promotion

What Time
10:00–14:00
Welcome!
The co-OPERATOR Final Conference marks the end of the project and focuses on turning its research findings into practical actions to improve vaccination uptake across Europe. By taking place at the European Parliament, the conference brings the project’s results directly to policymakers and key stakeholders. Participants will learn about the project’s main findings on vaccine hesitancy, healthcare professionals’ readiness to support vaccination, existing training and support programmes, and the digital tools developed by the project, including the co-OPERATOR platform, AI-supported resources, and the observatory. The event will also provide an opportunity to discuss and validate the project’s policy recommendations.
A key message of the project is that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to addressing vaccine hesitancy. Public attitudes and healthcare professionals’ preparedness differ across countries and communities, making tailored responses essential. Through its digital tools and policy recommendations, co-OPERATOR offers evidence-based resources to support informed decision-making and effective vaccination communication. The conference will demonstrate how these results can contribute to EU public health goals, strengthen collaboration with related initiatives, and ensure the project’s impact continues beyond its funding period.
