Abstract(s)
In face of today’s complex global challenges — from climate change and pandemics to widening social inequalities — the One Health approach has emerged as a vital framework for building a more resilient, inclusive, and sustainable future. The 7th CiiEM International Congress, held under the theme “Empowering One Health to Reduce Social Vulnerabilities”, aimed to contribute meaningfully to this vision by fostering dialogue, showcasing cutting-edge research, and promoting cross-sector collaboration.
Held from 2 to 4 July 2025 in Caparica, Portugal, and organised by the Egas Moniz Center for Interdisciplinary Research (CiiEM), this edition brought together an interdisciplinary community of researchers, practitioners, and stakeholders united by a common purpose:
transforming science into societal impact.
The scientific programme was structured around several key themes that reflect both the urgency and the complexity of applying a One Health lens in today’s world. Topics ranged from the role of technological innovation in advancing biomedical research to the challenges of digital exclusion and equitable access to health-enabling technologies. Sessions also explored the intersection of urban planning and public health, highlighting how the design of our cities can support physical, mental, and environmental well-being. Other central themes included mental health and psychological resilience, sustainable food systems, antimicrobial resistance, and the
social dimensions of healthcare access.
By addressing these interdependent areas, the Congress aimed to promote scientific literacy, foster intersectoral collaboration, and support the translation of research into impactful policies and practices that reduce social vulnerabilities and strengthen community health. The Congress offered a rich platform for collaboration and innovation, supported by symposia, poster sessions, and fruitful networking opportunities. It welcomed over 200 participants, including 20 invited speakers, and featured around 130 scientific contributions — presented as oral or poster communications — selected through a rigorous peer-review process.
