Action Committees, formerly known as Task Forces and Watch Groups, are a central initiative of the GVN, uniting experts across academic, institutional, and corporate partners to address pressing viral challenges. Each committee focuses on a specific viral category or emerging threat, such as poxviruses, respiratory viruses, hemorrhagic fever viruses, arboviruses, retroviruses, Long COVID, and other infection-associated chronic conditions. Members meet regularly to share insights, coordinate research, and strengthen global collaboration. Participation is by invitation, though interested GVN members may reach out to Ruby Ferrari, GVN Network Administrator.
