One Health Talks

No próximo dia 18 de junho terá lugar a última sessão do 3.º ciclo de Conversas One Health do ICBAS, que terá como tema: “As dietas vegetarianas são mesmo o futuro?”, com intervenções de António Mira da Fonseca (ICBAS, REQUIMTE, LAQV) e de Margarida Silva (ESB-UCP, CBQF).

Data: 18 de junho de 2026
Hora: 13h
Local: Monobloco, Sala 5

Para tornar a conversa ainda mais acolhedora, oferecemos café. Convidamos todos a trazer a sua chávena, em alinhamento com o conceito One Health e com a nossa preocupação com a saúde do ambiente.

As dietas vegetarianas são mesmo o futuro?| A alimentação de base vegetal é frequentemente apresentada como uma alternativa mais sustentável e saudável, mas até que ponto essa ideia corresponde à realidade? Nesta Conversa One Health propomos analisar, com base científica, o impacto das dietas vegetarianas e de outros padrões alimentares no ambiente e no bem-estar humano e animal. Serão discutidas evidências sobre pegada ecológica, uso de recursos naturais e possíveis implicações nutricionais, bem como os contextos em que diferentes modelos alimentares podem ser mais ou menos sustentáveis. A partir de múltiplas perspetivas, pretende-se promover uma reflexão informada, rigorosa e equilibrada sobre o papel da alimentação no futuro do planeta.

NANO4AQUACULTURE: One Health Solutions

NANO4AQUACULTURE: One Health Solutions is a four-week online and five-day in-person training program designed to take participants from core scientific foundations to hands-on innovation in sustainable aquaculture. Through four integrated modules, trainees explore how nanotechnology applied to functional nutrition and advanced monitoring tools can enhance environmental safety, animal health, and system resilience.

The program uses an immersive challenge-based learning approach that encourages teamwork, creativity, and real-world problem solving. In the virtual phase, participants build their scientific and methodological grounding while forming teams and outlining initial strategies for a shared challenge. During the in-person phase, teams bring their ideas to life through hands-on workshops and technical visits, co-designing nanotechnology-based solutions such as functional feeds, biosensors, and monitoring tools. Guided and mentored by academics and industry experts, they refine their prototypes and strategies, transforming initial concepts into practical, well-developed solutions. The experience builds towards a final pitch to an international jury, giving participants a taste of professional and entrepreneurial environments and preparing them to contribute meaningfully to the future of sustainable aquaculture.

Applications are open until 4 May 2026.

‘1Health1Welfare’ Summer Research School 2026

The 1Health1Welfare Summer Research School offers an immersive and inspiring experience for students from undergraduate to doctoral level. By combining a curricular week at ICBAS with a laboratory internship — which may take place at another partner institution — the program provides a unique opportunity to develop theoretical and practical skills and to engage actively in cutting‑edge research projects in the field of One Health One WelfareIt opens the door for those who want to explore, discover, and transform knowledge into real impact.

The concept of One Health highlights the connection between human health, animal health, and ecosystem balance, going beyond zoonoses and antimicrobial resistance to include the environment and well‑being. Complementarily, One Welfare emphasizes the relationship between animal and human well‑being, evident in contexts of companionship, production, or work. The Covid‑19 pandemic demonstrated that these challenges require interdisciplinary collaboration and dialogue between science and society.

The summer course aims to provide learning and research experience in One Health One Welfare, combining theoretical training with participation in scientific projects aligned with societal challenges. The approach will be student‑centered, using active learning methodologies and strengthening the link between biology and society.

Training in partnership with: Faculty of Sciences of the University of Porto (FCUP), i3S – Institute for Research and Innovation in Health, and Research Centre in Biodiversity and Genetic Resources (CIBIO-InBio)

Note: The research internship may be carried out at another institution beyond the partner organisations, subject to agreement with the Course Direction.

The applications are open until 25 May 2026 and are aimed at students from the University of Porto and other institutions who are currently enrolled in, or have completed, a degree programme (Bachelor’s, Master’s or PhD) in the field of life and health sciences.

As políticas de Saúde servem-nos? | O acesso à saúde em Portugal é frequentemente apontado como universal, mas será que responde, na prática, às necessidades reais dos utentes? Nesta Conversa One Health propomos refletir sobre os modelos de saúde humana e veterinária (animais de companhia), as suas interligações, desigualdades e desafios. Que papel desempenham as políticas públicas na promoção de uma saúde equitativa e sustentável? A partir de diferentes perspetivas, vamos discutir o que funciona, o que falha e o que pode — e deve — ser repensado.
