Contributes substantially to the European economy (€130bn annually)
Supports nutrition security, development of rural areas and ecosystem services.
Is an essential part of a bio-based economy in Europe

To apply new know-how to livestock farming and to the improvement of animal health, welfare and sustainable productivity while ensuring food-chain quality and healthy rural living.
To better understand infection biology and dynamics and to develop innovative solutions for the prevention and control of existing and emerging infectious diseases in humans and animals.
To better understand the impact of changing ecosystems on public, animal and environmental health and to overcome One Health risks occurring in nature at the interface of human, animal and wildlife activity.
Wildlife and Ecosystems
To better understand the emergence, transmission and dynamics of AMR and to improve and expand tools for AMR prevention and intervention.
