EU Cross-agency One Health Task Force holds annual meeting in Warsaw
On 17–18 November 2025, the EU cross-agency One Health Task Force convened in Warsaw for its annual meeting.
The Task Force brings together five EU agencies - ECDC, ECHA, EEA, EFSA, and EMA - and works closely with the Directorate-General for Health and Food Safety (DG SANTE). This year’s meeting was hosted by the European Border and Coast Guard Agency (Frontex).
Over two days, participants reviewed progress on implementing the Cross-agency Framework for Action (2024–2026) and explored joint One Health initiatives planned for 2026 and beyond. A dedicated workshop focused on validating a methodology to map One Health activities across agencies and identifying cross-cutting themes for future collaboration.
The meeting also marked the start of work on a key deliverable: developing a proposal to consolidate structural arrangements for cross-agency collaboration on One Health. This provided an opportunity to reflect on two years of Task Force operations, share lessons learned, and outline recommendations to strengthen future cooperation among EU agencies under the One Health approach.
