+
+We have had a busy few months making updates and improvements to the site, and have many exciting things in the pipeline. We wanted to provide a quick round up of our most recent updates, and things that you should look out for. Watch this space to make sure that you don't miss a thing!
+
+#### Wastewater dashboard
+
+- Some new areas have now been added to [SLU's page](/dashboards/wastewater/covid_quantification/covid_quant_slu). More cities will be added soon to this page, including other areas in Stockholm.
+
+- Updates from [KTH](/dashboards/wastewater/covid_quantification/covid_quant_kth) will no longer occur, but we look forward to future updates looking at other viruses.
+
+- In the near future, we hope to add data on enteric viruses (coming from GU, [who recently began sharing data on the relative levels of SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater](/dashboards/wastewater/covid_quantification/covid_quant_gu)).
+
+#### RECOVAC dashboard
+
+- There have been recent updates to the data in the [RECOVAC dashboard](/dashboards/recovac). Take a look at that dashboard for all of the latest information about the efficiency and safety of vaccination against COVID-19.
+
+#### New events
+
+- We continue to add new events related to pandemic preparedness topics. See our [events and training page](/events/) to stay up to date with latest events.
+
+#### Available data
+
+- As always, we update our [available data](/datasets/all/) monthly, at the beginning of the month. This page shows all of the data and code openly shared in publications involving authors affiliated with a Swedish institution.
+
+- We currently focus on COVID-19 data in this section, but later in the year we aim to show data from other topics (e.g. influenza) too, so watch this space!
+
+#### Improvements for users
+
+- We have now done major improvements to our [topics sections](/topics/). The topics enable you to filter the content of the site according to a given project. This means that you're able to see just the parts that are important to you! This is an important step as we move increasingly into pandemic preparedness in general.
+
+#### Anything else?
+
+- We have regular updates to data on many of our dashboards, including weekly updates to our [wastewater dashboard](/dashboards/wastewater/) and monthly updates to the [postcovid condition dashboard](/dashboards/post_covid/).
+
+- We regularly update the list of publications on COVID-19 from researchers affiliated with a Swedish university (see the [database](/publications/) and associated [dashboard](/dashboards/covid_publications/)), as well as [funding opportunities](/funding/) and [ongoing projects](/research_projects/).
+
+- If you have any suggestions for things that we could add or improve, we would like to hear from you! Please get in touch via our [contact page](/contact/)!

But they were also due to the innovation, partnerships, investment and new approaches rapidly deployed during the pandemic. How can we ensure these exceptional ways of working become business as usual in pandemic sciences?<br><br>The Conference’s 2023 theme, Making the Exceptional Routine, will explore how the level of innovation and multidisciplinary and multisectoral partnership we saw during COVID-19 can happen day-in, day-out to protect us from another devastating pandemic."
