Arnold Bosman @bosmana@twitter.com on the second decade of #EPIET. Finally having #EPIET25 hosted by a centre: @ECDC_EU@twitter.com, from scientific seminars to @ESCAIDE@twitter.com. From administrative limbos to a real establishment. Also the start of #EUPHEM the PH microbiology.

Mike Catchpole speaking on the first days of #EPIET25. 'Make most of the learning the network and the true love I see between you all and stand above the hideous aspects of nationalism' #powerofthenetwork #epiet25 #EUPHEM

Hanna Nohynek (speaking about the early days of #EPIET25. How it was also a constant political struggle to start the programme. 'We didn't have much, but what we did have was an extremely strong network. Be Brave! Keep asking questions'.

Andrea Ammon, whom was part of the 1st #EPIET25 cohorts (now the @ECDC_EU@twitter.com, director) explaining how the early days of the fellowship were during a time when even Excel was not a thing. The fellowship itself was learning by doing, but look where it has come

Frank van Loock, one of the other founding fathers of #EPIET25 on how challenging it was starting the European Fellowship and how it grew into something strongly embedded in @ECDC_EU@twitter.com, how it really started as a real grass roots initiative. 'the trusted voices during the pandemic'

One of the initial founders, the legendary Alain Moren on the future of Field Epidemiology training programmes: 'they should remain fundamentally strong in the technical and human (network) aspects. Agile and outcome orientated, not aimed at processes.' - 100% Agree. #EPIET25
