Presentation
The COVID-19 crisis has shown how dangerous and disruptive a pandemic can be to our societies. It has become clear that simply responding to the disease is not enough to stop the spread of a pandemic. We do not know when or where the next epidemic will strike. We do not know what type it will be. However, one thing we can be sure of is that there will be another epidemic. In the meantime, we are constantly seeing the emergence of new pathogens and resistance to treatments. How should we, as a community, prepare to deal with it when it arises? There is no single answer, and it must not come after the disease has appeared. The solution lies in understanding the complex nature of an emerging infectious disease and in comprehensive risk management. We must prevent the emergence of new diseases by organizing regulation and exchanges in society in an appropriate manner. A new generation capable of managing risk with a new and more comprehensive vision is needed. DYNAMEID is designed to train this generation.
