| "Vaccines: from smallpox to technologies of the future" |
| "Do you want to broaden your knowledge on vaccinology or get a first well-balanced introduction to different aspects of the vaccine field? Then tune in for this MOOC! Do you know vaccines have proven to be one of the most powerful and effective ways of reducing morbidity and mortality and even eradicating diseases? Within this MOOC, we will elaborate on the burden of some infectious diseases. Besides the history of vaccines and the impact on mankind, a module will be dedicated to vaccine immunology. You will learn more about the different stages in vaccine development and the (sometimes) troublesome path to reach those most in need. Big steps forward have been made, but there are still challenges to tackle, including the recent vaccine hesitancy leading to a worrisome reduction in vaccination rates. A novel vaccine platform technology, named PLLAV (i.e. plasmid-launched live-attenuated viral vaccine) will be highlighted as well. This MOOC is aimed at all stakeholders in the vaccine field like students, parents, scientists, NGOs, politicians and many more."

| "En este MOOC se analizará al sistema agroproductivo global y la proyección de la población humana. El gran desafío del siglo XXI según el premio nobel de la paz (1970) Norman Borlaug es que “Deberemos aprender a ser capaces de satisfacer las necesidades básicas y crecientes del ser humano, alimentación y otras consiguiendo al mismo tiempo a través de la conservación de los recursos necesarios para continuar satisfaciendo estas demandas en el futuro”. El crecimiento poblacional y crecimiento de la economía mundial generaron impactos y cambios en el volumen y perfil de la demanda agrícola global. El incremento de la demanda en los últimos 50 años fue debido al consumo de granos de manera directa, de granos para consumo animal y granos para biocombustibles. Se analiza la relación entre la cantidad de suelo per cápita utilizada para producir alimento en función del crecimiento poblacional para resolver el desafío de forma eficiente y sustentable. El sistema de siembra directa como nuevo marco referencial del sistema productivo con visión holística tiende a maximizar los efectos deseables y externalidades positivas y minimizar los efectos indeseables y externalidades negativas. Este módulo productivo se sustenta en tres pilares, la viabilidad económica, ecológica y social en forma interactiva y en simultáneo. La interacción del ambiente (suelo y sus características, clima, insectos, enfermedades y malezas) y genotipo del cultivo para lograr el incremento del rendimiento del cultivo de manera sustentable. La mejora del ambiente del cultivo se da por ausencia de labranza, la cobertura del suelo y el manejo del carbono. Se abordará la importancia del carbono en el suelo y la mejora de las propiedades físicas, químicas y biológicas del suelo, la importancia de los nutrientes y sus relaciones y la importancia del carbono como matriz estructural. La importancia de la porosidad del suelo para la captación de agua del suelo y para evitar agentes erosivos. Y la incorporación de oxígeno para potenciar la vida de los suelos.
