Connecting human, animal and environmental health
The Estonian University of Life Sciences took part in the EPA 2026, held at the ERM on 14–15 October. The university presented its activities and collaboration opportunities and shared researchers’ expertise on current agricultural topics. The university was represented both at its own exhibition stand and in the Innovation Area, and also helped organize several discussion sessions.
The second One Health Forum, held on 1 October, brought together researchers of our university from different disciplines to exchange ideas, review recent achievements and explore new opportunities for collaboration. The meeting highlighted how the One Health community is already helping to turn informal discussions into concrete research initiatives.
On Wednesday, 23 September, from 18:00 to 21:00, the One Health Adventure Lab at the Estonian University of Life Sciences’ Zoomeedikum will welcome science enthusiasts of all ages. Featuring seven activity stations, the workshop uses playful challenges and experiments to demonstrate how human, animal and environmental health are interconnected.
On 2 September, the Estonian University of Life Sciences held its first One Health Forum, bringing together nearly 30 researchers and specialists from different institutes and disciplines across the university. Planned as a monthly event, the Forum aims to strengthen interdisciplinary collaboration and create new opportunities for joint research projects and funding applications.
At the Opinion Festival, the institute’s experts discussed questions that have no simple answers: how to prevent emerging infectious diseases, retain talent in Estonia, and prepare for crises that may come from places we least expect.
At a seminar organised by the One Health Centre of the Estonian University of Life Sciences, we saw first-hand that One Health is not just a scientific concept – it is a way of working together.
The future of one health is in your hands!
