The journal is jointly funded by the European Commission, the Réseau national de santé publique (later, Institut de Veille Sanitaire now Agence nationale de santé publique [fr]) in Paris, France, and the Public Health Laboratory Service (later, Health Protection Agency and Public Health England now UK Health Security Agency) in London, England, and a pilot issue was published in 1995. In 2005, collaboration started with the newly established European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) in Stockholm and a weekly epidemiological bulletin was published. Two years later, in 2007, the journal was transferred entirely to ECDC, which has published it since. Karl Ekdahl became the newly appointed editor-in-chief in 2008 and since 2011, Ines Steffens has been editor-in-chief of the journal.[3]
Since its beginning, the journal is an open access online journal that does not charge article processing fees. The journal's website does not host any form of commercial advertisement.[1][4]
