Motivation

Dear COST Community,

We are excited to announce the launch of our new initiative: the OneHealthdrugs Ambassador Program. This program is open to both young and senior researchers who are passionate about advancing our mission.

The primary goal of the ambassador program is to promote and raise awareness of our key principles: OneHealthdrugs is committed to coordinating the discovery of drugs that combat vector-borne diseases (VBD) in both human and veterinary medicine. These efforts are guided by the principles of optimizing treatment for both organisms, enhancing quality, and minimizing environmental impact.

Ambassadors will play a vital role in engaging diverse audiences and fostering a deeper understanding of our mission. Through media outreach and public engagement, they will inspire others about the importance of drug discovery for VBDs and help create a pipeline of experts.

This initiative will not only focus on outreach within the scientific community and among students but also extend to society at large, engaging various stakeholders across Europe and internationally.

This is an amazing chance for the training of early-career scientists or future PIs in aspects of OneHealth in vector borne parasitic diseases.

Join us in spreading the message of OneHealthdrugs and be a part of a global movement to combat vector-borne diseases!
