Die diesjährige Tagung zum Aktionsplan Pflanzenschutzmittel werden wir am Freitag 4. September 2026 in Campus Liebefeld durchführen. Bitte reservieren Sie sich dieses Datum. Wir werden Ihnen im Sommer eine Einladung mit dem Programm schicken.

Course description

The One Health concept is a holistic approach to improving and sustainably protecting human, animal and environmental health. It recognises that human, animal and environmental health are closely linked. Antibiotic resistance management, zoonoses and pandemic preparedness, climate change and environmental health are just a few examples that show how changes in one area can have direct or indirect effects on the others. In this course, we present policy drivers for implementing the One Health approach, such as the legal framework and guidelines in Switzerland, and the EU, particularly in the areas of food safety, animal health and environmental protection. We present case studies from interdisciplinary research initiatives that support the One Health approach, discuss the scientific challenges in implementing the concept, and introduce new approaches to risk assessment of biological and chemical stressors.

Target audience

The course is aimed at professionals from industry, authorities and science who are interested in the ‘One Health’ concept and its current and future implementation.

Course participants will receive a certificate of attendance.
The documentation will be available for electronic download before the course. The course language is English.

The 3R online seminar series ‘Alternatives to animal use in research and education – Refine, Reduce & Replace’ (WS 25/26) will take place again this year. Sixteen outstanding scientists will provide a broad overview of the wide range of topics in the field of 3R.

Das «One Health»-Konzept ist ein ganzheitlicher Ansatz, um die Gesundheit von Menschen, Tieren und Umwelt zu verbessern und nachhaltig zu schützen. Es erkennt an, dass die Gesundheit von Mensch, Tier und Umwelt eng miteinander verknüpft ist. Wir präsentieren Fallstudien aus interdisziplinären Forschungsinitiativen, die den «One Health»-Ansatz unterstützen, diskutieren die wissenschaftlichen Herausforderungen bei der Umsetzung des Konzeptes und stellen neue Ansätze zur Risikobewertung biologischer und chemischer Stressoren vor.
