Project MOSAIC

The MOSAIC project (Multi-site application of Open Science in the creAtion of healthy environments Involving local Communities) is looking at the way in which Open Science – considered in its broadest sense (i.e. including open access to resources, open data infrastructures, the involvement of all stakeholders in the co-production of knowledge, dialogue between knowledge systems) – can provide tools for integrated approaches to health (Planetary Health, One Health) and help to promote the health of local cross-border populations in East Africa and the Amazon.

Its specific objective is to develop and implement open information ecosystems to help local communities living in cross-border areas to :

– Perceive and predict environmental changes (land use and occupation, extreme climatic events, etc.);

– Understand the impact of the environment on health, well-being and lifestyle;

– Building an environment and adopting practices that promote health.
