The Triple-S project (Syndromic Surveillance Survey, Assessment towards Guidelines for Europe) is a 3 year European project. One main objective is to produce a proposal for coordinating syndromic surveillance (SyS) systems operated by European countries and for comparing findings from these systems. Three models have been identified for ensuring the comparison and reporting of findings from EU countries. For the sustainability of the models, a SyS coordinating group is needed to coordinate SyS activities in Europe.
