The ICBAS , since its foundation in 1975, has considered itself as a multidisciplinary institution in Life Sciences.
Currently, the school occupies a unique space in Portugal, both in teaching and research, as it integrates the three basic areas of the One Health concept (human, animal, and environmental health).
The vision of ICBAS is to make the concept of One Health central to its activity. In line with this perspective, ICBAS adopted the motto “One School, One Health”, meeting the need to mobilize the community to promote synergies and complementarities between different areas of knowledge, both in research and in high-level training.
Our mission is to train students with a holistic perspective across the human, animal, and environmental sectors, and to promote interdisciplinary and synergistic research to improve public health for all.
