Great to have @ec.europa.eu fully on board. 💙

At #ESCAIDE we’re spotlighting a concrete example of #OneHealth in action 🇪🇺:
The European Cross-Agency One Health Task Force — turning words into real collaboration across Europe.
@efsa.europa.eu @ecdc.europa.eu @echa.europa.eu @eea.europa.eu @ema.europa.eu @escaide.eu

The ERC is one of the strongest engines for knowledge creation in the EU. When research truly follows the One Health approach, we unlock powerful solutions to Europe’s most complex health, environmental, and food-system challenges.

Together we are stronger 💪

Super happy to see the @erc.europa.eu spotlight #OneHealth for its 2026 conference. This focus couldn’t be more timely.

Honored to be invited to speak on behalf of @efsa.europa.eu and excited to engage with the European scientific community.

A thousand years ago, Avicenna (Abu Ali Ibn Sina al-Bukhari) — born in today’s Uzbekistan — saw the body and environment as one system.
Long before hashtags, he was already practising #OneHealth.

The challenges in Central Asia mirror many we face in Europe — across food systems, ecosystems, and human, animal & plant health.
At @efsa.europa.eu , we share that same commitment to #OneHealth. 🌿
