Presentation

The COVID-19 crisis has shown how dangerous, challenging and disruptive a pandemic can be to our societies. It has been shown that simply reacting to the disease does not stop the progression of a pandemic. We do not know when or where the next epidemic will occur. We don't know what kind it will be. However, one thing we can be sure of is that there will be a next epidemic. In the meantime, we are continuously observing the emergence of new pathogens and resistance to treatments. How should we prepare as a community to deal with it when it comes? The answer is not a one-size-fits-all one and certainly should not come after the disease has emerged. The answer lies in understanding the complex nature of an emerging infectious disease and managing the risk holistically. We must prevent the emergence of new diseases by organizing regulation and exchange in society in an appropriate manner. A new generation capable of managing risk with a new and more global vision is needed. DYNAMEID is designed to train this generation.
