Abstract
The potential emerging pathogens is a reality in Southeast Asia. Since a vector borne parasitic or viral disease is concerned, its investigation requires various expertises as well as an efficient organisation to articulate those expertises in a rational procedure. In Southeast Asia, Thailand is one of the more advanced counties where the improvement of expertise could be of the benefit to the country as well as of the region at whole.The main objective is to improve knowledge (What to know?) and skills (How to do?) of trainers who will be able to teach students in their respective Universities in the different areas involved in such investigation named: Applied Medical Entomology, Vector borne Parasitic and Viral Diseases, Ecology & Environment, Epidemiology, Data Management, Data Analysis and GIS. This is a Training of Trainers programme with the objectives:• To organise a field experiment training for the staff of the partners Universities• To provide them with educational suppport material including ICT products (English edited videos based on the field training and subtitled in Thai)• To update and accrediate curricula of teaching units at partners UniversitiesThis capacity building program is based on a field experiment teaching to better develop skills in terms of practical investigation.The aim is to improve knowledge and skills of the students, initially at the partner universities and over. To provide the participants with educational support documents including ITCE-based products, ensuring their dissemination and their quality at the initial training level in their respective Universities. It will also facilitate the potential exploitation of those outcomes at a larger geographical scale, for example by adapting the language.The long term impact would be to improve knowledge and skills of experts for a more efficient and, faster coordinated investigation.
