Events & Seminars

We are excited to announce our Global One Health Seminar Series, an upcoming initiative to foster dialogue on critical One Health challenges worldwide. This series will feature speakers from diverse regions, each sharing unique perspectives on health issues in their communities—covering topics such as zoonotic diseases, environmental health, and antimicrobial resistance. Each session will highlight real-world challenges and showcase innovative, locally-driven solutions that can inform global approaches. This series aims to connect experts, inspire cross-regional collaboration, and deepen our collective understanding of how interconnected human, animal, and environmental health truly are. Join us as we learn, share, and work toward sustainable solutions for a healthier world.

Our One Health Free Discussion Sessions provide an open platform where graduate students and veterinary students can come together to discuss pressing One Health issues in their local contexts. These sessions encourage participants to critically analyze health challenges that affect humans, animals, and ecosystems in their regions, including topics such as zoonotic diseases, antimicrobial resistance, and environmental impacts. Through collaborative dialogue, participants will brainstorm practical, science-based solutions that can drive positive change locally and globally. This initiative aims to nurture critical thinking, inspire action, and empower the next generation of veterinary professionals to lead in the One Health movement.
