The END-VOC consortium will support the European and global response to the COVID-19 pandemic and Variants of Concern (VOC) through well characterised cohorts and linked with existing European and international initiatives. END-VOC consists of 19 partners in Europe (UK, Spain, Italy, Germany, Netherlands, Norway, Italy), South America (Brazil and Peru), Africa (Mozambique, South Africa, Nigeria and 13 ANTICOV African countries), Middle East (Palestine) and Asia (India, Pakistan, Philippines) with a focus on countries affected by VOCs and VOIs. We will elucidate the global circulation of the current and emerging SARS-CoV-2 VOCs and their characteristics, including transmissibility, pathogenicity and propensity to cause reinfection, to support best control strategies and the development of diagnostics; evaluate the impact of VOCs on the effectiveness of different vaccines and vaccination strategies; and assess the implications of VOCs on the choice of optimal treatment options. END-VOC will also investigate how VOCs alter long-term post-infection sequelae and where new VOCs emerge within hosts using our clinical cohorts. We will inform future preparedness and response working closely with international and national public health organisations and existing cohort consortia. Specific beyond state-of-the-art components of END-VOC include the use of novel phylogenetic prediction tools and mathematical modelling; generation of powerful cohorts through sentinel surveillance in low and middle income settings and cohorts of travellers to increase our global reach; use of novel predictive modelling of clinical outcomes by VOC and comorbidity/treatment and evaluation of differences in natural and vaccine immunity by VOC; antiviral screening models within cohorts and an artificial intelligence driven tool for the prediction of long COVID.

One major problem that the current education system in Palestine faces is the gap between academia and the private sector. Employees very often complain about the skills acquired by new graduates, that is not sufficient for the requirements of the labor market.Several studies have claimed that e-learning has become more equitable for people with disabilities as it connects them anywhere and anytime and it can be dealt with according to their needs and how it is suited for them. There is a general agreement on the major advantages of E-learning and ICT. We envisage the solution will not only be by redesigning the content, changing the method of teaching or changing the assessment methods, but the change must include various and multiple aspects. The core structural pieces (learning environments, content, teaching methodologies) must be joined side by side to close the gap. The content must be developed by experts with a diversity of interest and harmonious approach, the method of teaching must be participatory and the responsibility for the learning process must be shared by the participants (the learner, the academic, and the employer). If these pieces are brought together in a single building block that has been enabled and strengthened with the help of external experts. Our proposed project aims to develop flipped Practical courses VIA triple environment by Triple Experts Teams, and to train a team of trainers (TOT) through Triple Enhance programs using flipped approach VIA Triple Environment (3EEE)In this project we aim to provide the following to cater for the needs addressed in this study:-Pilot a number of Flipped courses VIA Triple learning Environment-Train a team of trainers about the concept and the use of flipped approach VIA triple Learning Environment-Enhance the current learning platforms to host developed Flipped courses and Modules.-Develop and accredit Triple Enhance Program-Disseminate the experience to other universities
