ERC Health

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.

YoPA – Youth-centered participatory action for a healthy lifestyle

The YoPA project, ‘a youth-centred preventive action approach towards co-created implementation of socially and physically activating environmental interventions’ obtained funding from Horizon Europe’s Health Cluster. The project addresses the multifaceted challenges of physical inactivity and health inequalities through a unique participatory approach. The project places teenagers between 12 and 18 years old in vulnerable situations at the forefront of the intervention process. The Institute of Tropical Medicine is a partner in the project and will conduct a Realist Evaluation to understand how youth co-creation contributes to improved adolescent health and well-being in four cities in Denmark, Netherlands, Nigeria and South Africa.  By integrating its results and sharing its approach in an open access Toolbox, ITM aims to contribute to fostering sustainable, youth-led solutions for healthier urban environments.
