The National Science Meeting – Science 24, organized by the Science and Technology Foundation, this year has the theme “+Science for One Health and global well-being” and takes place in Porto, between the 3rd and 6th of July.
CESAM, in collaboration with the Institute of Systems and Computer Engineering – Microsystems and Nanotechnology (INESC-MN), organized a thematic session on the topic of environmental pollutants and their relationship with the One Health approach.
The session, moderated by Prof. Doctor Adelaide Almeida (CESAM) has four speakers: Catarina Caneira (INESC-MN), João Carvalho (CESAM), Susana Freitas (INESC-MN) and Susana Loureiro (CESAM).
One Health approaches mobilize multiple disciplines and communities to promote well-being and address health threats, while simultaneously addressing the need for sustainable production of safe and nutritious food, clean water and air, and to act on climate change and contributing to sustainable development.
Thus, the most recent developments in analytical methodologies that allow the adequate monitoring of environmental contaminants and pathogens are addressed; conservation and public health perspectives regarding zoonoses in wild animals in Portugal as well as approaches to developing safe and sustainable food for the future in the “Age of Insects”.
