Overview
The COVID-19 crisis has shown just how dangerous and stressful a pandemic can be, and how much it can disrupt 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 outbreak will occur. We do not know what form it will take. However, there is one thing we can be certain of: there will be another outbreak. 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 occurs? There is no single answer, and it must not come only after the disease has already 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 appropriately organizing regulations and social interactions. A new generation capable of managing risk with a fresh and more comprehensive perspective is needed. DYNAMEID is designed to train this generation.

The Benefits of the Training Program
The academic agreement was signed in October 2022 by Mahidol University (Thailand), Universitas Gadjah Mada (Indonesia), and the University of Montpellier (France), and supplemented by an amendment in 2024.
A student applies to a single university. He is then enrolled at two universities, from which he will earn a national degree. The DYNAMEID master’s program is open to all, regardless of nationality or other social considerations. It requires a full two-year commitment to the initial training program.
The training program is open to professionals in education, healthcare, or research who wish to specialize. They must have their employer’s support for this initiative in order to receive a reduction in their teaching load.
Depending on their personal circumstances, students may be eligible for a scholarship from their government or receive financial support from their employers. The program is committed to actively seeking out partners to promote access to scholarships.
