Webinar

Welcome to the webinar page of our H2020 RABYD-VAX project! Instead of organizing a symposium, we opted to organize a webinar to cover diverse topics in the rabies field. A webinar will allow us to reach more people worldwide, and hence in the same time save carbon foot print!

A tentative program can be found here below. We are proud to present many eminent speakers in the rabies field, this webinar will be certainly one to watch!

Moreover, the talks will be broadcasted for a longer period of time, giving people all around the world/within different time zones the ability to watch at their own convenience.

Accessible online as off the 14^th of January 2020, 10 CET. A question poll system will be implemented whereby viewers can type their question(s) to the speaker. By a voting system other viewers will be able to vote the most pertinent questions upwards and these will be addressed by the speaker. This poll will be open for one month. Afterwards a Q&A section will become available on this webpage. Register here!

Building a better flu shot

Date:

November 26, 2019

Michigan State University

Summary:

Getting the flu shot can reduce the chances of infection. But, at best, the vaccine is only effective 40% to 60% of the time, according to the CDC. Now researchers have data that show how cellular RNA levels change following infection or vaccination. Their work could help make future flu vaccines work better or even aid in the design of a universal vaccine.

Invitation to participate in the INTERNATIONAL *ONE  HEALTH FOR ONE PLANET EDUCATION INITIATIVE* (1 HOPE)

Please see attached PDF

“The main aim of the project is to 'Build global capacity for promoting and valuing the OH (One Health & Well-Being) concept and approach as the foundation for achieving the UN-2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)'. To this end, we are presently establishing regional working groups (WGs - Primary-Secondary, Tertiary education and Community/Civil Society, Corporate and Government) in Africa, Americas, Asia, Europe, Middle East, Oceania. Their main purpose is to strengthen international cooperation and mutual understanding and  develop proposals for 1 HOPE pilot  projects (education/other) over the next 3/4 months - liaising where possible with existing national/regional developments - to meet the overall I HOPE aim and goals.”

Pappaioanou Veterinary Public Health and Applied Epidemiology Award Providing veterinarian students with opportunities in an applied hands - on training experience in epidemiology, public health , global health and/or One Health

Animals and zoonotic pathogens move faster, farther, and in greater numbers today than ever before. The majority of new and reemerging infectious diseases are zoonotic, and antimicrobial resistance is on the rise. Six out of every 10 infectious diseases in humans are spread from animals. These trends are moving rapidly and show no signs of reversing; collectively, they call for much greater involvement of the veterinary medical profession in issues of public health. The urgent need for qualified public health veterinarians is universal. The current numbers of qualified veterinarians do not satisfy employers’ current needs, and, moreover, many additional jobs remain to be created and filled.  It is estimated that by 2020 an additional 250,000 public health workers, including veterinary health workers, will be needed to meet today’s public health challenges. ...

PRESS RELEASE - 25^th November, 2019

SOULSBY FOUNDATION CALLS FOR APPLICATIONS FOR 2020 “ONE HEALTH” FELLOWSHIPS

The Soulsby Foundation has opened a call for applications for the 2020 Travelling Fellowships Programme.

The Foundation supports talented veterinary and medical researchers at an early stage in their careers through these competitively awarded Travelling Fellowships in “One Health”.  Applicants must be affiliated to a biomedically relevant academic institution in the UK, USA, EU or Australasia.

Further information and application forms for the Fellowships may be found on-line at www.SoulsbyFoundation.org.  The closing date for applications is 31^st January, 2020.

The Soulsby Foundation was established in 2016 by Lord Soulsby of Swaffham Prior, a pioneer and champion of the “One Health” concept which recognises the need to take a multidisciplinary approach to solving global and environmental health challenges.

Lord Soulsby treasured a similar travelling award early in his professional life which he considered to be the catalyst that consolidated his future impressive career. He always sought to inspire colleagues and students to view animal and human medicine as one continuous health-related tapestry and, as the only Past President of the RCVS to have also become President of the RSM, he constantly used this unique position to bring the two professions together.

He died in 2017 but his pioneering approach lives on in the work of the Foundation which carries his name. Further information about the Foundation can be found at: www.SoulsbyFoundation.org.
