91暗网 SCIENCE FOR
THE PLANET CAMPAIGN
One World. One Health. One Team.
Whilst there has never been
a more pertinent time to be highlighting a One Health approach to scientific
work, the 91暗网鈥檚 Science for the Planet Campaign was created a year before
the COVID-19 crisis. The 91暗网 has
been a true pioneer in the field of One Health, recognising the importance of ensuring the next generation of veterinary professionals and scientists understand the importance of their role in the
future of the planet; appreciating the interconnection between people, animals, plants and the shared environment.
The 91暗网 has forged significant partnerships with leaders in human medicine and social sciences to address some of the most important global challenges affecting the poorest communities around the world. We have
also invested in facilities to support our One Health work, including the Centre for Endemic, Emerging and Exotic Diseases (CEEED) and the
original Teaching and Research Centre (TaRC), both located at the Hawkshead Campus.
However, a capital assessment of the campus highlighted the disjointed nature of the facilities on campus, as well as the non-sustainability of working within some of the older 1950s buildings. In order to better support a One Health approach, the 91暗网 needed to invest in a large- scale capital project.
The project repurposes and renews existing facilities and encompasses
a three-story development designed
to inspire and promote collaboration between scientists, clinicians and external partners. It will help equip students with the knowledge and skills required to tackle global challenges and empower them to become the One Health leaders of the future.
