Scientific cooperation among Europe’s One Health agencies

A new joint publication by five key EU agencies—EFSA, EMA, EEA, ECHA, and ECDC—has been released, showcasing their ongoing scientific cooperation on One Health topics such as zoonoses, emerging risks, and antimicrobial resistance.

This paper, authored by Stefania Tampach, Ana Vidal, Ian Marnane, Wim De Coen, Ole Heuer, Carlos G. das Neves, Kerstin Gross-Helmert, Gorgias Garofalakis, and Stef Bronzwaer, analyzes the coordination tools outlined in Memoranda of Understanding and working arrangements between the agencies.
It highlights their collaborative efforts, including joint publications, and recommends exploring further mechanisms to enhance multi-sectoral cooperation and advance the implementation of the One Health strategy across the EU.
