Human, animal, and environmental health are inseparably linked - making the One Health approach vital for today’s global challenges. From antimicrobial resistance and the COVID-19 pandemic to climate-driven disease shifts and environmental degradation, tackling these threats requires bold, interdisciplinary research that harnesses the power of Artificial Intelligence.

This conference will bring together leading scientists, policymakers and stakeholders to showcase how ERC-funded frontier research is tackling pressing global challenges through the lens of One Health. It will highlight how cutting-edge discoveries can drive real-world solutions, shape policy, and foster collaboration across disciplines - turning scientific breakthroughs into tangible impact for society and the environment.

All information including the complete programme, speaker bios and the registration form is available in the conference announcement on the ERC website.
