Factors contributing to this rise include increasing resistance to antimicrobials, the effects of extended migration, emerging pandemics, overpopulation, climate\/environmental change and intensive livestock farming. Since the causative agents of infectious diseases are not contained by borders, these problems need to be addressed at a global scale.<\/p>\n<p>The summer school will address these factors and provide insights into the current trends through lectures by experts in various themes of infectious diseases including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>One health<\/li>\n<li>Applications of AI in diagnostics<\/li>\n<li>Computational, animal and human models<\/li>\n<li>Vaccination &amp; treatment<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Lectures will provide an immersion into possible solutions to tackling new and (re)emerging infectious diseases. The summer school will also involve generating a white paper in groups on a selected topic related to tackling future problems of (re)emerging infectious diseases. Through this collaborative group assignment, participants will actively contribute to envisioning and addressing future challenges, while benefitting from the diverse perspectives of students from different corners of the world.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Eligibility criteria<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The summer school welcomes MSc and PhD students in the (bio)medical, pharmacology, biotechnology and life sciences with a special interest in infectious diseases. Proficiency in written and spoken English is required. In particular, we encourage students currently engaged in relevant research topics in the Global South, to participate.<\/p>\n<p>Participants must be available for the entire duration of the summer school and be prepared to participate in all activities in the programme.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Application and Selection<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>All applicants will go through a selection process, and will be selected by the organizing committee based upon their motivation, CV and relevance of their backgrounds to the topics as well as academic level requirements.
