We are pleased to announce the upcoming two-day symposium entitled: Promoting the inclusion of the environmental pillar within One Health
When?
June 30th and July 1st 2026.
Where?
National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) in Bilthoven, the Netherlands.
Why attend?
The One Health approach is crucial for understanding and controlling infectious diseases at the intersection of humans, animals, and the environment. Despite its importance, the environmental pillar often remains underrepresented. This symposium aims to address this gap by fostering collaboration, sharing knowledge, and exploring solutions to better integrate the environmental domain within One Health research, policy, and practice across Europe. Through inspiring presentations and interactive workshops, we hope to stimulate new ideas and partnerships.
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
