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.

One Health is not shaped by one person, one institution, or one discipline. It is shaped by people who are willing to think across boundaries — and to do that together.

The Estonian University of Life Sciences has established an interdisciplinary One Health Centre, bringing together the university’s research expertise to address human, animal, and environmental health in an integrated way. The decision to establish the centre was approved by the university senate on 30 April and entered into force immediately.
