EUHPP Live webinar: One Health research collaboration: a glimpse at European R&I and One Health outcomes applied to real world scenarios, 28 May 2026, 11.00 -12.30 CET

On 28 May 2026, from 11.00 to 12.30 CET, the European One Health Association will co-organise a live webinar on the EU Health Policy Platform as part of the Thematic network PEITHO.

This webinar will focus on One Health Research & Innovation, beginning with insights from the EU Partnerships BE READY, which is dedicated to pandemic preparedness. BE READY will reflect on Partnership’s goals, the integration of One Health in its activities, barriers to cross-sectoral and cross-border collaboration and how to overcome or prevent these barriers, and plans to operationalise the developed solutions.

The second part of the webinar will highlight how One Health approaches and research solutions can be applied to real world scenarios, based on the lessons learned from a recent Simulation Exercise on Avian influenza conducted by Sciensano in Belgium. In this presentation experiences will be shared in organizing such a cross-sectoral One Health exercise, with a focus on the barriers that were identified and the solutions that were implemented.

#EUHPP Live webinar: Consolidating Europe’s One Health network: integration of underrepresented sectors, 28 April 2026, 10:00 -11:30 CET

On 28 April 2026, from 10:00 to 11:30 CET, the European One Health Association will co-organise a live webinar on the EU Health Policy Platform as part of the Thematic network PEITHO.

This webinar will focus on the inclusion of sectors that are traditionally underrepresented in One Health
initiatives, with particular attention to the environmental sector. Experiences, lessons learned, and practical recommendations for stakeholders will be shared to support the meaningful and effective integration of the environmental perspective into One Health initiatives.

Additionally, the session will address issues of equity and inclusion within One Health activities, based on
insights from the Women for One Health network. The presentation will highlight challenges encountered in establishing and managing initiatives, particularly within the European context. The discussion will explore barriers to participation and leadership, and will present solutions that have successfully addressed or prevented these challenges, that could serve as guidance for future efforts.

EOHA funded Workshop: Promoting the inclusion of the environmental pillar within One Health; 30 June – 1 July

We are pleased to announce the upcoming two-day symposium entitled: “Promoting the inclusion of the environmental pillar within One Health” on June 30th and July 1st 2026 at the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) in Bilthoven, the Netherlands. 

Why attend?

The One Health approach is critical for understanding and controlling infectious diseases at the intersection of humans, animals, and the environment. However, the environmental pillar is often underrepresented. This symposium aims to address this gap by fostering collaboration, knowledge exchange, and potential solutions to better integrate the environmental domain within One Health research, policy, and practice across Europe, via exemplary presentations and workshops. 

What to expect:

  • Keynote presentations on the vital role of the environment in One Health
  • Thematic workshops focusing on climate change, the human-made environment, and innovative methodologies
  • Interactive sessions to identify key challenges and co-create solutions
  • Panel discussion with experts from all One Health domains
  • Ample networking opportunities for cross-sector collaboration
