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.

The advantages of the training program

The educational agreement was signed in October 2022 by Mahidol University (Thailand), Universitas Gadjah Mada (Indonesia), and the University of Montpellier (France), and supplemented by an addendum in 2024.

A student applies to a single university. He is then enrolled at two universities, from which he will obtain a national degree. The DYNAMEID master's program is open to all, regardless of nationality or other social considerations. It requires a full commitment to two years of initial training.

The training is open to professionals in education, health, or research who wish to specialize. They must be supported by their employer in this endeavor in order to benefit from time off work.

Depending on their personal circumstances, students may be eligible for a scholarship from their government or receive support from their employers. The program is committed to actively seeking partners to promote access to scholarships.
