| global One Health Community

Preliminary program

This is a preliminary program for WOHC2026. This schedule will change regularly, and all times are in WET.

Legend

Scientific Sessions (SCS) The Scientific Track is built on abstract-driven evidence, in response to the Global One Health Community call for abstracts.
Science Policy Interface Sessions (SPI) The Science Policy Interface track is built on abstract-driven evidence, in response to the Global One Health Community call for abstracts.
Workshops These sessions will complement both tracks: the Scientific Sessions (SCS) and the Science Policy Interface Sessions (SPI). Their content is based on a call for workshops and submitted in response to the call.
Our program also features Plenary Sessions, Partner Sessions, Side Events, and Poster Sessions which will showcase the scientific abstract posters that were reviewed and approved for presentation during the Congress.
