The aim of this international conference is to bring together the French scientific community to discuss the latest advances in projects arising from the Booster program, while giving the floor to international experts working on the program’s key themes.

After a general scientific opening on the links between climate change and health, the day will be structured around three main themes :

  1. Data for climate change and health research in Europe and Globally ;
  2. Biological adaptation to heat ;
  3. Adaptation to climate change : interventions and public policies.

The day will conclude with a round table discussion with all the international speakers.
