5th Stakeholders Committee Meeting of the One Health EJP

On May 26th, One Health EJP celebrated the 5th Stakeholders Committee Meeting. New stakeholders attended this meeting such as EMA, EEA, EUEnviroment, FAO and WHO, and it also counted with the participation of Marie-Cecile Ploy, Project Coordinator of EU-JAMRAI.

The One Health European Joint Programme (OHEJP)

The One Health concept recognises that human health is tightly connected to the health of animals and the environment, for example that animal feed, human food, animal and human health, and environmental contamination are closely linked. Therefore the study of infectious agents that may cross species and environmental barriers to move between these compartments is imperative.

In line with the “Prevent-Detect-Respond” concept, the main focus of the new OHEJP is to reinforce collaboration between institutes by enhancing transdisciplinary cooperation and integration of activities by means of dedicated Joint Research Projects, Joint Integrative Project and through education and training in the fields of Foodborne Zoonoses (FBZ), Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) and Emerging Threats (ET).
