Join us for the One Health Days 2026

One Health Days 2026 offer SLU researchers and PhD students an opportunity to discover One Health research, connect with colleagues across disciplines and explore new collaboration opportunities – on campus in Alnarp, Uppsala and Umeå, and online.

What does the concept of One Health mean?

We share our lives with animals and are affected by each other's health, as well as the environment we live in. In this short film, we explain how everything is interconnected, following the One Health approach.
