We are preparing a proposal under the EUPAHW call focusing on zoonotic diseases and their prevention through a One Health approach.

The project aims to strengthen surveillance, early detection, risk assessment, and prevention strategies for diseases transmissible from animals to humans. Activities will include data collection and analysis, capacity building, awareness-raising, and development of sustainable control measures.

We are seeking partners with expertise in veterinary medicine, public health, epidemiology, laboratory diagnostics, data analysis, or related fields. Public authorities, research institutions, universities, NGOs, and relevant organizations from eligible countries are welcome.

Interested partners are invited to contact us with a brief description of their expertise and potential contribution.
