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.
