One Health PACT Final Meeting
After four years of interdisciplinary research, collaboration, and innovation, the time has come to celebrate the conclusion of the One Health PACT project. We proudly present the integrated findings of all 26 PhD candidates, who have explored the complex connections between climate change, infectious diseases, and health.
This final event showcases the power of collaboration within the One Health approach and highlights how science can contribute to a healthier and more resilient future. We warmly invite you to join us in marking this milestone and reflecting on what lies ahead for One Health.
