Annual report of the Director 2013

The year 2013 was an important milestone in the history of ECDC as it was the last year of the implementation of its multiannual programme 2007–2013 and the adoption of the new strategic multiannual work programme for the period 2014–2020 (SMAP).

In 2013, ECDC managed to implement most of its Work Programme. ECDC further increased its output, consolidated its structures and developed its partnerships to address the need for a strengthened response to the threat of communicable diseases in Europe.

In addition to presenting the main achievements of the Centre in 2013, this annual report includes tables showing the detailed implementation of the 2013 work programme, as approved by the Management Board in November 2012
