“From Scientific Advice to Implementation” — A High-Level Policy Debate on 28 March 2025
You’re invited to tune in to a special EBS Live TV debate on Friday 28 March 2025 from 12:00 to 12:30 CET, focusing on the One Health approach and its implementation across EU policies.
With mounting scientific evidence showing the interdependence between human, animal, plant, and environmental health, the debate will explore how the One Health approach can strengthen EU policymaking — from addressing zoonotic diseases and antimicrobial resistance, to supporting sustainable food systems and climate resilience.
The debate will feature insights from top EU officials and leading scientific advisors:
- Sandra Gallina, Director-General, DG SANTE
- Kurt Vandenberghe, Director-General, DG CLIMA
- Nicole Grobert, Chair, Group of Chief Scientific Advisors (GCSA), Professor, University of Oxford
- Jakob Zinsstag, SAPEA, Professor, Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute
- Joanna Drake, Moderator, Deputy Director-General, DG RTD
The discussion will centre on recent policy recommendations by the Commission’s Scientific Advice Mechanism (SAM) and how they can be turned into effective EU action.
