DRS provides tailormade lectures with respect to various aspects of epidemics and the management of these. Lecturing is a flexible tool to perfectly fit your needs of novel and up-to-date knowledge executing epidemiological tasks. You may request a single lecture, or a series of lectures, at an academic level. Lectures may be directed primarily to, education, research, or policymaking, it is all up to you.
DRS may also support you in executing your epidemiological tasks by other means than lecturing. We may support you in, setting up studies, synthesis and interpretation of results, literature studies, and evaluation of your current management of epidemics. The latter may result in additional support to improve the management, which we may categorise as trailblazing.
The major task of a trailblazer is to set up a new entity inside, or outside, an organisation. The task results from a shortcoming detected in the organisation. Something ‘new’ should surpass the shortcoming. This ‘new’ is, in general, vaguely described by the task provider. It may be, a laboratory, a collaboration, a research programme, a new service, and so on. In addition, execution of the task should be done independently of existing interests within the organisation, or organisations, to guarantee success. Trailblazing is, in general, outsourced to guarantee this independence. DRS is the trailblazer par excellence with respect to shortcomings in appropriate, human, management of epidemics.
