Mariya Gabriel, Commissioner for Innovation, Research, Culture, Education and Youth, said:
"My sincere congratulations to EYWA – the winner of the EIC Horizon Prize on Early Warning for Epidemics. The solution, based on Earth observation and other data, improves Europe’s preparedness to fight vector-borne diseases, also addressing the effects of climate change on human health, at home and abroad. A special mention goes to the other two finalists of this important prize, D-MOSS and FARSEER, for their outstanding work. I am both proud and grateful that European excellence has demonstrated once again to be capable of providing solutions to global challenges.”
