Global One Health Symposium

Join colleagues from around the world for a 24‑hour Global One Health Symposium, a continuous virtual event dedicated to exploring the complex connections among human, animal, plant, and environmental health. Over the course of one full day, participants across the globe will engage with experts, students, and practitioners working at the front lines of One Health challenges and solutions.

Event overview

The symposium will feature live and recorded presentations (recordings accessible asynchronously) spanning key One Health domains, including zoonotic and emerging infectious diseases, wildlife conservation, environmental health, antimicrobial resistance (AMR), translational medicine, indigenous perspectives in One Health, and more. Four sessions are scheduled across time zones to foster global engagement and allow attendees to join whenever it best fits their schedule.

Presentations and keynote sessions

Faculty, researchers, and professionals will share cutting‑edge work on surveillance, prevention, and control of zoonotic diseases; innovative approaches to conserving biodiversity; and integrated strategies to address health concerns across human, animal, and agricultural settings. The keynote talk will highlight cross‑sector collaboration and real‑world case studies that demonstrate the power of a One Health approach.

Interactive breakout sessions

Five, live interactive breakout groups during each of the fours sessions will focus on applied topics such as AMR, wildlife and environmental conservation, translational medicine, indigenous perspectives, and One Health student organizations. Participants will have opportunities to introduce themselves, discuss global priorities, workshop ideas, and share opportunities for future collaboration.

Who should attend?

The Global One Health Symposium welcomes students, educators, researchers, clinicians, veterinarians, public health professionals, policy makers, and community partners who are interested in interdisciplinary collaboration. Whether you are new to One Health or a long‑time advocate, this 24‑hour global forum will provide insight, inspiration, and connections to help advance integrated solutions for a healthier planet.

Research posters

A virtual poster session (accessible asynchronously) will showcase student‑led research and projects from around the world, offering a platform for emerging leaders to share findings, receive feedback, and build their professional networks. Dedicated networking breakouts and informal discussion boards will connect students with mentors, collaborators, and peers who share similar interests and regional challenges.
