EDITORIAL. International audience. The International Francophone Congress of Epidemiology, organized by Adelf et Epiter,which form a network of more than 500 epidemiologists, gathers every two years between300 and 500 scientists and public health stakeholders (including physicians, veterinarians,and other public health professionals). The congress aims to facilitate exchanges amongepidemiologists and public health stakeholders, to share their professional experiences, toadvance public health research and epidemiological training, to develop a network ofepidemiologists (working in surveillance, protection, promotion/prevention, planning andevaluation of health actions), to contribute to the promotion and development of bothacademic and field epidemiology, and to enable discussions among researchers, actors, anddecision-makers.This 10th edition of the International Francophone Congress of Epidemiology is held inLimoges and covers all fields of epidemiology. Over three plenary conferences, tworoundtables, 18 sessions organized from more than 80 oral presentations and about ahundred poster presentations, it addresses the theme of new epidemiological transitions.The classical notion of epidemiological transition, by which the most frequent diseases in aregion of the world vary according to diverse factors (economic development, socialprogress, improvement of the health system...), needs to be revisited in light of recent globalhealth developments. Indeed, the most evident epidemiological transition is seeing a rise innon-communicable chronic diseases and a cross-reduction in infectious diseases. However,the COVID-19 pandemic has revealed how relevant these infectious diseases still are in acontext where environmental, climatic, and geopolitical upheavals can only heighten therisks of emerging or re-emerging diseases. This context has also reinforced the importanceof One Health concept, which promotes collaboration among specialists in human health,animal health, and environmental health. Indeed, it is crucial for epidemiologists to face newepidemiological transitions and as many challenges: How to account for the evolution of riskfactors in industrialized countries? What data to provide to enable resource-limitedcountries to tackle the dual burden of chronic and communicable diseases? How to build thenecessary collaborations for the effective implementation of the One Health approach? Howto reconcile the demands for methodological rigor and ethics in epidemiology, theavailability of increasingly massive data (data warehouses...), and the proliferation ofincreasingly sophisticated tools (computer networks, artificial intelligence...)?This special issue of the Journal of Epidemiology and Population Health (formerly “Revued’Epidémiologie et de Santé Publique”) compiles the abstracts of oral communications andposters that, following a rigorous selection by the Scientific Council, stimulate thinkingamong French-speaking epidemiologists
