The INSTEAD project wins the 3rd PEPR PREZODE call for proposals

We are delighted to announce that the INSTEAD project, which was presented to you at our Annual General Meeting on 15 November, has been selected as part of Wave 3 of the 2024 calls for projects.

Le INSTEAD projectcoordinated by Gaelle Gonzalesvirologist (ANSES) focuses on West Nile (WNV) and Usutu (USUV) arboviruses, transmitted by mosquitoes and maintained in birds, which are becoming endemic in Europe, posing a growing threat in France. The INSTEAD project aims to strengthen surveillance and early detection of these viruses through an integrated "One Health" approach, bringing together 17 laboratories and various local and national players. It is developing innovative detection tools and co-constructing a cross-sector monitoring system to improve preparedness for these emerging risks.

Well done to Gaëlle and the whole team, who will soon be joining the PREZODE and ZACAM family for future collaborations and exchanges!

As part of the PEPR PREZODE (Preventing Zoonotic Diseases Emergence) programme, five new projects have just been selected to improve the detection of infectious diseases of animal origin and strengthen warning systems in France and internationally, including INSTEAD

The Salt Trial (ERABLE Project)

Camargue, the salt trial - Adapting an area to salinisation and climate change
The Salt Trial is a territorial fiction that looks at salt as an environmental motif accused in a fictitious trial, inviting all the living people of the Camargue to testify. The trial is a unifying event, creating a shared narrative. This action-research project aims to break down the barriers between different approaches, by recognising and questioning a wide range of vernacular knowledge and know-how, and involving players from all sectors. It explores the possibilities for adapting and transforming human activities in the Camargue in the face of salinisation of the environment and climate change, and aims to trigger social change around the challenges of ecological transition.

Read about the "Salt Trial" in the Camargue in Le Parisien

"The wild Camargue is a fragile ecosystem, made more vulnerable by the effects of global warming. To encourage local players to engage in dialogue, CNRS researcher Raphaël Mathevet has devised an extraordinary fictional trial, the salt trial, which will take place in Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer in November 2025.

What if a natural element could be judged?

This is the original idea behind the Salt Trial, a ground-breaking initiative exploring the possibilities for adapting and transforming human activities in the Camargue in the face of salinisation of the environment and climate change.

A story to rethink biodiversity in the Camargue

Next November, researchers, artists, elected representatives, residents and users will gather at Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer for a mock trial, giving all members of the local Camargue community the opportunity to testify on the region's current ecological problems.

The aim? To tell the story of a negotiation between diverse interests and divergent visions to preserve the Camargue ecosystem, which has been weakened by climate upheaval and the use of its resources.

The Salt Trial is therefore an inspiring model of ecological education, showing that art can be a powerful force for constructive debate.
