4 – 20 November, 2025 (17 Days)

This training examined the extent to which health studies, mostly in public health and epidemiology, used geospatial technology. We will identify GIS as a tool for they used from geocoding through simple buffer/overlay functions to spatial query functions. Implementation within GIS of spatial analytical tools suitable for aggregated data over a region will increase the use of Geospatial technology beyond simple GIS operations and visualization in health studies. In addition, this course will also provide relevant information and experiences of the development and movement of health and geospatial technology in Thailand. The Royal Thai Government in collaboration with the Government of Singapore responded to the emerging health crisis by undertaking radical health system reform that reflects responses to past crisis in health and geospatial visualization and analysis from last few years. Hopefully, the topic of this current issue will be useful for countries participants in the future.

Expected Outcomes

Expected key results for participants after completion of the training course:

Basic knowledge of health and geographic information system
Meaningful information about advanced technology for mapping, assessment, monitoring and management related to epidemiology and environmental disaster in Thailand and participants’ countries
Better understanding of further applications through case study practice.

“Sustainable Waste Management in a Circular Economy”

Faculty of Environment and Resource Studies

Mahidol University, Thailand

August 7 – 23, 2023

Waste management has been an active area of study, research and teaching of the Faculty of Environment and Resource Studies. Thailand has made large steps in improving the management in the past decade. For these reasons the Faculty of Environment and Resource Studies intends to organize a training program in Sustainable Waste Management in a Circular Economy. This program will provide an understanding of the principles of waste management and emerging issue related to waste management and climate change. The course will rely on the expertise that the Faculty has gained through hands on research and also on the experience of Thailand over the last decade in tackling this issue. State of the art waste management and wastewater treatment techniques will be disseminated and the current challenges faced will also be debated. It is expected that this program based on practical experiences in Thailand will be of use to participants in the future.

Climate change impacts the whole globe in many sectors such as human health, agriculture, forest ecosystem, water resources, and coastal areas. Developing countries, in particular, may have more impacts due to having less potential both in economic ability to prevent or mitigate climate change and also in basic knowledge to overcome or to have a better understanding about climate change.

The concept of adaptation, adaptive capacity, vulnerability, resilience, exposures and sensitivity are interrelated and have a wide range of applications to global change science that also vary by the phenomena of interest and time scale.

Faculty of Environment and Resource Studies, Mahidol University, has foreseen that climate change will be an enormous critical issue for scientists, politicians and the human system. Thus, this training and workshop has been designed to be a wakeup call for humans to take responsibility of saving our world, sharing knowledge and data and setting up a platform of possibility of creating a climate change adaptation network.
