One Health on your ears - that's what you get with the One Health Platform podcast. The One Health Platform podcast takes you into the exciting world of One Health research. In each episode, you can look forward to interesting interview partners and find out why it is worth looking at the health of animals, humans and the environment together.
In order to give young scientists a voice in the scientific steering committee of the One Health Platform, the Scientific Advisory Board, two places are reserved exclusively for young scientists. The junior representatives are elected annually together with the other SAB members and have the same voting rights as the other elected members.
The Scientific Advisory Board is the central scientific steering committee of the One Health Platform. It represents the One Health Platform externally and manages day-to-day business together with the administrative office. It performs overarching tasks and makes science-related decisions.
Mit der One Health Plattform (OHP) soll eine koordinierende, dynamische Struktur geschaffen werden, die die inter- und transdisziplinäre wissenschaftliche Entwicklung im One Health Bereich gemäß der One Health Definition des One Health High Level Expert Panels (OHHLEP) [1] unterstützt, nationale und internationale Förderinitiativen miteinander verknüpft, Impulse setzt und Raum zur Identifizierung von Forschungslücken und -bedarfen gibt.
Four-month research grants
The members of the One Health Platform already have well-established partnerships worldwide. You will soon find an overview of selected international collaborations.
The One Health definition of the One Health High-Level Expert Panel and the first report of the Lancet One Health Commission emphasise once again that the challenges of our time, such as zoonoses, antimicrobial resistance, environmental degradation and climate change, require an integrative, interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary approach to solve.
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.
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.
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 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.
