This document summarizes the EcoZD project, which aims to build capacity for managing zoonotic diseases in Southeast Asia using an ecosystems approach. It describes the project's inception focusing on capacity building and risk assessment. Over time, the project adapted to emphasize a learning-by-doing approach through country-specific research on priority zoonoses. It also established EcoHealth Resource Centers at universities in Thailand and Indonesia to provide training, research, knowledge sharing and advocacy for an ecosystems approach to health.

Early warning and preparedness for FAST diseases in Europe and neighboring countries can be improved through an integrated approach. This involves collecting and analyzing data from multiple sources to identify risk areas, optimize surveillance in high risk locations, and share timely risk information. Regional cooperation and partnerships help build capacity for early detection. Risk mapping combines factors like animal movements and densities to target surveillance and control activities. Validation shows the approach accurately identifies risk levels and outbreak locations. An integrated method from field data to risk-based surveillance can strengthen early warning systems.

Program planners must consider human and health system resources and phase strategies appropriately over time. Robust information systems are needed to monitor coverage, outcomes, and impact. Leadership and community engagement are also essential to ensure services are utilized and integrated within primary health care. Vertical programs should be avoided and vaccination should be part of comprehensive immunization strategies.

Describing and Interpreting an Immersive Learning Case with the Immersion Cub...Leonel Morgado
Current descriptions of immersive learning cases are often difficult or impossible to compare. This is due to a myriad of different options on what details to include, which aspects are relevant, and on the descriptive approaches employed. Also, these aspects often combine very specific details with more general guidelines or indicate intents and rationales without clarifying their implementation. In this paper we provide a method to describe immersive learning cases that is structured to enable comparisons, yet flexible enough to allow researchers and practitioners to decide which aspects to include. This method leverages a taxonomy that classifies educational aspects at three levels (uses, practices, and strategies) and then utilizes two frameworks, the Immersive Learning Brain and the Immersion Cube, to enable a structured description and interpretation of immersive learning cases. The method is then demonstrated on a published immersive learning case on training for wind turbine maintenance using virtual reality. Applying the method results in a structured artifact, the Immersive Learning Case Sheet, that tags the case with its proximal uses, practices, and strategies, and refines the free text case description to ensure that matching details are included. This contribution is thus a case description method in support of future comparative research of immersive learning cases. We then discuss how the resulting description and interpretation can be leveraged to change immersion learning cases, by enriching them (considering low-effort changes or additions) or innovating (exploring more challenging avenues of transformation). The method holds significant promise to support better-grounded research in immersive learning.

Immersive Learning That Works: Research Grounding and Paths ForwardLeonel Morgado
We will metaverse into the essence of immersive learning, into its three dimensions and conceptual models. This approach encompasses elements from teaching methodologies to social involvement, through organizational concerns and technologies. Challenging the perception of learning as knowledge transfer, we introduce a 'Uses, Practices & Strategies' model operationalized by the 'Immersive Learning Brain' and ‘Immersion Cube’ frameworks. This approach offers a comprehensive guide through the intricacies of immersive educational experiences and spotlighting research frontiers, along the immersion dimensions of system, narrative, and agency. Our discourse extends to stakeholders beyond the academic sphere, addressing the interests of technologists, instructional designers, and policymakers. We span various contexts, from formal education to organizational transformation to the new horizon of an AI-pervasive society. This keynote aims to unite the iLRN community in a collaborative journey towards a future where immersive learning research and practice coalesce, paving the way for innovative educational research and practice landscapes.

The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically youngSérgio Sacani
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.
The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically young

Assess the impact, effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of these vaccination programmes
1. to provide widely relevant guidance on design and implementation
2. to develop evaluation methods/guidelines which can then be used by others
So we intend to cover a range of programmes
- Potentially considering:
- Country
- Disease/vaccination
- Species/livestock system
- Crisis/vaccination programme design
- Implementor type (NGO, government?)
- But we must not spread ourselves too thinly
Which programmes to evaluate?

- Eastern, Southern and Western Africa - countries considered include:
- Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, Sudan, South Sudan, Karamoja (Uganda- is there much
vaccination?), Niger, Mali, Mauritania, Burkina Faso, Zimbabwe, Malawi,
Mozambique, Madagascar
- Will need to be pragmatic
- Consider scale and importance of these programmes in that country but
also
- Do we have a willing partner to work with (we understand possible
sensitivities and will accommodate this) [key to success]
- Where can we operate effectively and efficiently (ethics approvals, ILRI
capacity, logistics, feasibility)
- Donor priorities

Suggested disease focus:
- Pasteurellosis/Haemorrhagic Septicaemia, RVF, FMD, Anthrax, Black leg (bivalent

- What should we prioritise (most important for these programmes)?
- Good to get a mix of endemics and TADs
- Again we may need to be opportunistic and pragmatic
Species:
- Cattle, small ruminant, camel
Systems:
- Pastoralist, smallholder…

Southern Africa)
From:
- Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, Sudan, South Sudan, Karamoja (Uganda), Niger, Mali,

- Justify your choice
- Are there programmes willing to work with us?
2. Which disease/vaccine do we assess: (put in order of priority from
Pasteurellosis/haemorrhagic septicaemia, RVF, FMD, anthrax, black leg
(bivalent Anthrax/BL), CBPP, LSD, PPR, CCPP, SG pox
