Presentation

The COVID-19 crisis showed just how dangerous, stressful and disruptive a pandemic can be for our societies. It has been shown that simply reacting to disease is no way to stop the progression of a pandemic. We don't know when or where the next epidemic will break out. We don't know what kind it will be. One thing we can be sure of, however, is that there will be a next epidemic. In the meantime, we are constantly observing the emergence of new pathogens and resistance to treatments. How should we, as a community, prepare to deal with it when it comes? The answer is not a single one, and certainly should not come after the onset of disease. The solution lies in understanding the complex nature of an emerging infectious disease and managing the risk globally. We need to prevent the emergence of new diseases by organizing regulations and exchanges in society appropriately. We need a new generation capable of managing risk with a new, more global vision. DYNAMEID is designed to train this generation.
