• Fighting against outbreaks of emerging infectious diseases, Prof. Antoine Flahault, Université de Genève
  This MOOC aims to train the participants in emerging infectious diseases surveillance but also in epidemic prevention and control.

  This MOOC aims to answer to the following question: “How to explain the global decrease in fertility from a socio-demographic perspective?” The objective is to explain the complexity of a fundamental human behavior, fecundity, by showing that a multi-disciplinary approach is needed and not only a focus on the data itself. It shows that demographic evolutions make sense only in the view of economical, social, cultural and political factors, widely intertwined. This MOOC is associating theory and concrete case study, often from personal field research in Africa, Asia and Latin America.

• Climate Change & Health for Policy-Makers, Prof. Rainer Sauerborn, Universität Heidelberg
  This MOOC was developed by four eminent scientists who together authored the health chapter in the recent 5th Assessment report of the IPCC. They offer you a short crash-course into the topic of climate change, tailored to senior policy-makers and negotiators of climate agreements, particularly as an input into the climate conference COP21 in Paris in December this year.
• Climate Change & Health, Prof. Rainer Sauerborn, Universität Heidelberg
  So why is health not a more prominent topic in the debate on climate change and its impacts? We hear a lot about polar bears and smokestacks in the media, but very little on the many and the large health impacts of climate change. With this MOOC, we want to provide state-of-the art evidence of the link between climate change and the health of populations, and discuss best practices in terms of adaptation and co-benefits to health.  Participants will analyze their own country as a case study throughout the course and share this work with other course participants. They will understand the limits and strengths of their own country’s climate adaptation plan.
• Ebola: fight together!, Prof. Antoine Flahault, Université de Genève
  This MOOC looks back on the international crisis that struck Western Africa. It should allow a better understanding of the disease in its clinical dimension; highlight the political and social implications of this epidemic and shed light on the societal impact of such a disease. The answers given by Africa and the international community will be analyzed at different levels. Care provided to sick patients, vaccine development, crisis management, role of the media will also be discussed and analyzed.
