Rising global temperatures and invading mosquito species in urban environments pose a public health risk for arboviral outbreaks in Europe and must be addressed using an evidence-based rationale.

Vector-borne diseases (dengue, Zika, chikungunya) are an important public health issue. Understanding their transmission dynamics remains a major challenge at the sub-urban level. Indeed, environmental heterogeneities, variations in vector densities and daily mobility constitute a lock on the definition of epidemic risk indicators at this scale. MO3 therefore aims to (i) develop a simulation model to study the sensitivity of epidemic dynamics to targeted scenarios of anti-vector fights and (ii) evaluate in a large metropolis where dengue is endemic, Bangkok (Thailand), the effectiveness of these strategies.

The ONE URBAN HEALTH 2023-2026 project (MITI funding) addresses the impact of global urbanization on the spread of pathogens, often overlooked in analyses. It is recognized that viruses circulate abundantly between cities, and that urbanization accelerates and broadens connections, transforming local environments too, especially the peri-urban bangs.

In the last decade, civil society organizations (CBOs, NGOs, foundations, think tanks, social enterprises and consulting firms in development research and training) have seen their funding melting (Sciortino 2018). Moreover, several southeast Asian countries have moved up from poor to (higher) middle income countries, so they don’t qualify anymore for certain forms of funding, while inequalities in growth have (...)

In Southeast Asia, millions of foreign workers from the region (Philippines, Indonesia, Myanmar, Vietnam, Cambodia) occupy the lower strata of domestic labour markets in Malaysia, Thailand, or Singapore. This transnational labour system plays a structuring economic role within ASEAN, in destination as much as in labour-exporting countries. These migrations also have a profound social and political impact across the region. The research project seeks to investigate the political dimension of these contemporary mobilities through the empirical case of Indonesian migrant women - Indonesia being one of the main regional labour exporting countries in absolute terms.

This research project seeks to further the understanding of Malay languages’ regional dimension in the present day. As we know, “Malay” refers to a cluster of closely related languages spoken in six Southeast Asian countries by approximately 300 million speakers. Its two standard variants, Indonesian (bahasa Indonesia) and Malaysian (bahasa Malaysia often called bahasa Melayu), are recognized as official languages in four countries in the region. We refer to these Malay-speaking countries as a whole as “Malayophonia”.

This ongoing long-term project began in the early 2000s. It aims to inventory, describe and analyse Indonesian reverse glass painting over 150 years, through a database which currently includes 2,200 items and will, in time, be accessible online.
