Its main objectives have been: -Modernising and improving the services provided by Latin American HEIs to support social and educational inclusion. -Providing the different university stakeholders (Academic and non-academic staff, Governmental bodies, etc.) with the requested tools for students’ upskilling to favour their inclusion in a university context.The consortium was composed of 11 institutions from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Italy, Portugal, Germany, and Spain. All partners were committed to guarantee an everlasting cooperation that has been particularly ensured by the official creation of the SOLIDARIS Network, and the arrangement of multiple bilateral cooperation agreements at governance, research and academic level. The project has been led by University of Seville, technically coordinated by its Department of Social Pedagogy. The main project outcomes of the project were:-Definition of a common framework of 6 key competences for educational, social and labour inclusion of students. -State of play of each involved university with regards the accomplishment of measures to guarantee the acquisition of the abovementioned key competences for inclusion. -Development and testing of a self-assessment tool of students’ competences.-Design of a training pathway to support those students -Development of an online platform to ensure the sustainability and transferability of the training developed. -Creation of the Trainers’ guideline to deliver the training (Available also online). -Training for teaching and non-teaching staff involved on students’ inclusion processes.- Establishment of permanent offices in LA HEIs to give support to all University community to enhance inclusion. -Creation of an international network about social inclusion in a university context that will facilitate a space for debate, reflexion and development of common proposals. -International Publication about Inclusive Universities with contributions from all partners’ HEIs. -Modernisation of some University equipment addressed to the Community Support Offices. Even though the COVID 19 pandemic was an obstacle to finalise some activities, organizing face to face events and allowing partners to travel, it was also an opportunity to reach other results, such as: -Reaching a bigger and more international audience through the organization of virtual training and dissemination activities. -Reinforcing the online platform (WEBQUEST) and the interaction among trainees. -Raising awareness of the importance of digitalisation as other key aspect to guarantee a full inclusion at university. -Creation of an International online Congress about Inclusive Universities (CIUIS).

The ZikaPLAN initiative combines the strengths of 25 partners in Latin America, North America, Africa, Asia, and various centres in Europe to address the urgent research gaps (WP 1-8) in Zika, identifying short-and long term solutions (WP 9-10) and building a sustainable Latin-American EID Preparedness and Response capacity (WP 11-12). We will conduct clinical studies to further refine the full spectrum and risk factors of congenital Zika syndrome (including neurodevelopmental milestones in the first 3 years of life), and delineate neurological complications associated with Zika due to direct neuroinvasion and immune-mediated responses. Laboratory based research to unravel neurotropism, investigate the role of sexual transmission, determinants of severe disease, and viral fitness will envelop the clinical studies. Burden of disease and modelling studies will assemble a wealth of data including a longitudinal cohort study of 17,000 subjects aged 2-59 in 14 different geographic locations in Brazil over 3 years. Data driven vector control and vaccine modelling as well as risk assessments on geographic spread of Zika will form the foundation for evidence-informed policies. The Platform for Diagnostics Innovation and Evaluation will develop novel ZIKV diagnostic tests in accordance with WHO Target Product Profiles. Our global network of laboratory and clinical sites with well-characterized specimens is set out to accelerate the evaluation of the performance of such tests. Based on qualitative research, we will develop supportive, actionable messages to affected communities, and develop novel personal protective measures. Our final objective is for the Zika outbreak response effort to grow into a sustainable Latin-American network for emerging infectious diseases research preparedness. To this end we will engage in capacity building in laboratory and clinical research, collaborate with existing networks to share knowledge and tackle regulatory and other bottlenecks.
