We are pleased to announce that the Early Warning System for Mosquito borne diseases EYWA has won the 1^st place in the European Innovation Council's Horizon Prize for “Early Warning for Epidemics”.

The EYWA system was co-developed by three organizations [core partners: NOA-BEYOND (coordinator), ECODEV, LAPUP]. EYWA was also joined by twelve other European organizations (partners) that serve research purposes, carry out mosquito control activities, belong to health and decision-making sectors.

Τhe Laboratory of Atmospheric Physics of the University of Patras (LAPUP) participated in EYWA with the research team of the Associate Professor Kioutsioukis Ioannis, providing primarily medium-range forecasts with the causal model MIMESIS that it has developed and constantly upgrade.
