The health of humans, animals and ecosystems (including the climate) are closely linked. For example, many current threats such as zoonoses (i.e. diseases that can be transmitted between humans and animals), antimicrobial resistance, changes in biodiversity or environmental pollution affect humans, animals and the surrounding environment.
Due to the localization of One Health research at the interface of different scientific fields, this field of research places special demands on young scientists. The One Health Certificate of the One Health Platform is intended to support the interdisciplinary training of doctoral students and promote the widest possible qualification for further work in the One Health field.
Die Mitglieder bilden das Fundament der One Health Platform. Ziel ist es eine möglichst breite Gemeinschaft unter dem Dach der Plattform zu vereinen, um gemeinsam eine starke One Health Forschungscommunity in Deutschland zu schaffen. Eine Mitgliedschaft ist kostenfrei und bietet zahlreiche Vorteile, wie das Recht Projekt-und Workshopanträge bei der OHP zu stellen und das Recht an allen Veranstaltungsangeboten teilnehmen zu können. Die genauen Veraussetzungen für eine Mitgliedschaft finden sich in der Satzung.
The foundation of the One Health Patform is the German Research Platform for Zoonoses, or Zoonoses Platform for short. From 2009 to 2023, an interdisciplinary research community grew up in Germany under the umbrella of the Zoonoses Platform, which promoted zoonoses research in Germany across disciplines and institutions and realized the first networking between human and veterinary research areas. In December 2023, the One Health Platform was founded, which will replace and expand the Zoonoses Platform. More information on the history of the Zoonoses Platform and projects funded under the umbrella of the Zoonoses Platform can be found below.
In order to accommodate the diversity of existing basic research and clinical activities in the field of One Health, the office of the Research Platform is located in three closely linked locations:
Münster; c/o Institute of Virology, University Münster
Greifswald - Insel Riems; c/o Friedrich-Loeffler-Institute, Federal Research Institute for Animal Health
Greifswald; c/o Helmholtz Institute for One Health
The term One Health is on everyone's lips and is used by various stakeholders worldwide. However, the exact definition of the term often remains vague, which makes it difficult to design and implement concrete actions.erschwert.
