14.00 - 17.00 JUNIA Roundtable addressing the One Health challenge

Come and share with staff from JUNIA how you are approaching the One Health challenge

Even though the One Health approach is receiving more and more coverage in the scientific community, it remains, like all approaches that aim to be transdisciplinary, a real managerial and operational challenge for pilots of these projects. How do we get communities of specialists to work together, each with their own expectations, their own fields of expertise (associated with their own vocabulary) and, above all, their own evaluation criteria?

The arising question is to consider how, at the level of our institution's governance, is it feasible to initiate research strategies and policies aiming at integrating the One Health issue into an innovative and transdisciplinary collaborative approach.

We invite all Forum attendees to a round table discussion. After a brief presentation of research programs conducted at JUNIA (14.00 - 15.00) on the issue of One Health (human, animal, plant, and environment health) through transdisciplinary approaches, we will invite participants to share their experience and to reflect on the best methods to pave the way to successfully develop strategic partnerships to address One Health.
