On 13/12/2023 at 10:00-12:00, the 4th Ecodevelopment webinar on “Climate change and vector-borne diseases” will take place. The objectives of this series of seminars (which are held twice a year) on mosquito control and other relevant issues, launched on 2022, are:
1. Familiarity with the use of new data collection and management technologies
2. Easy-to-use electronic applications for public administration and citizens
