Growing with the community of Immunization Supply Chain practitioners

Dear Colleagues,

Are you feeling part of the community of Immunization Supply Chain (iSC) practitioners and willing to learn, participate to and grow with this great community? If so, you're going to enjoy 2019 on TechNet-21. Here is a taste of the coming weeks...


A new Community Manager

In addition, you can also contact me if you need to improve your collaboration and communications tools to work with your partners and colleagues. We might have some free solutions for you.


Blogs

TechNet-21 Voices - blog is designed to showcase members' expertise and latest development on programmes and projects of relevance to the community, providing high-quality content to its members.  

TechNet-21 Voices – blog will: 

1. Provide a space for TechNet members to regularly update the community on topics of their choice.
2. Provide a space for the TechNet team to regularly update the community on website-related projects.
3. Enable the website to highlight newsletters and periodicals of partners (including other blogs), thus centralising disparate topical immunization-related communications.

The community needs your help! If you'd like to help it grow and wish to write a blog post about a relevant topic, please contact This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. The TechNet-21 team will help you to make it happen. 


Webinars

Would you like to interact with professionals from everywhere and learn and exchange on topics of interest? Then we have something for you!  

We are going to start hosting regular webinars in which experts will present various subjects that should interest the community. The concept is very simple: A 30mn presentation followed by 30mn of questions and discussions.

Is there any topic you're very familiar with? Would you be interested in presenting and discussing it with colleagues from all around the world? Then please contact me at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it., I can provide you with all required information to prepare a webinar.  


New CCE resources area

The Cold Chain Equipment (CCE) section is being finalized. It will have everything you need to know about WHO PQS-prequalified products, including installation and maintenance guides, training resources, brochures, videos, photos, as well as product feedback from TechNet members. You'll be able to find products you're interested in by using the search feature or by exploring categories of products.  

We encourage:

- Users to leave a comment on the products they use to help the community decide which ones are more relevant to their use.

- Manufacturers and all users to ad relevant documentation for users to learn how to use their products, in which context, etc.

We will provide more details on this shortly. 


More to come  

We're now working on new ideas and have some plans to help our community to continue to share, learn and grow. Watch this space!
