REGISTRATION FOR THIS EVENT IS NOW CLOSED.
One Health is a philosophy that recognises the interconnectedness of humans, animals and the environment they share. Applying a One Health approach to research requires collaboration within and across the disciplines, leading to highly creative and innovative solutions. University College Dublin advocates for a One Health approach to creating a better, healthier, more sustainable world.
To celebrate this, we are holding a one day in-person conference to highlight and recognise some of the excellent research underpinned by a One Health approach going on in Ireland and we are delighted to also be joined by close colleagues and friends from University College Davis, California, where One Health is also a strong driver.
This meeting will be cross cutting with talks on topics such as Comparative Oncology, Food and Health, Antimicrobial Resistance and Infectious Disease.
We welcome abstracts for poster or oral presentations. Please submit your abstract in this Google Form by midnight on 13th May, 2022. Please note, we welcome abstracts from those who are not currently involved in One Health projects but who are interested in exploring One Health collaborations.
