Strengthening preparedness for health crises: launch of the ID360 platform project by ANRS MIE and IDCluster

ANRS Emerging Infectious Diseases (ANRS MIE) and the Infectious Diseases Cluster (IDCluster) have signed an agreement formalizing the launch of a joint initiative to explore the feasibility of a scientific and economic intelligence platform dedicated to infectious diseases (the ID360 platform).

In a context marked by increasing threats related to emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) and antimicrobial resistance (AMR), this initiative responds to the need to strengthen anticipation capacities and improve coordination among scientific, industrial, and institutional stakeholders.

The ambition of the ID360 platform is to:

• Dynamically map research and innovation projects;
• Identify available expertise, infrastructures, and capacities;
• Facilitate interactions between academic, clinical, industrial, and institutional stakeholders;
• Support strategic reflection and decision-making for public and private actors.

An initial exploratory phase is currently underway, including international benchmarking, the development of functional and technical specifications, and a feasibility assessment.

This public–private partnership comes at a time of strengthened national and European strategies for preparedness and response to health crises.

It builds on the complementarity between the two partners:

• ANRS MIE contributes its scientific expertise, its deep understanding of the academic and institutional ecosystem, and its structuring role at the national level.
• IDCluster drives the innovation ecosystem in the fields of EIDs and AMR through close interaction with economic and clinical stakeholders.

Within a two-year horizon, the ambition is clear: to equip France with a structuring tool capable of accelerating high-impact innovative solutions in public health and sustainably strengthening our ability to anticipate future health crises. In the longer term, this tool could also be extended to other countries within the European Union.
