Climate change is going to affect many aspects of our lives like for example the spread of zoonotic infectious diseases. This creates new challenges for science as well as for the public health sector. A series of three workshops of the Zoonoses Platform in cooperation with the Academy for Public Health in Düsseldorf is therefore dedicated to the topic "Climate Change and Zoonoses". The first part of the series addressed the future challenges posed by climate change with regard to zoonoses in general. The second part focused on a newcomer to Germany: the mosquito-borne West Nile virus. Some

The Junior Scientist Zoonoses Meeting (JSZM) is an annual event hosted by the German Research Platform for Zoonoses to promote its doctoral students and early stage postdocs. In 2019, the JSZM took place at the Robert Koch-Institute in Berlin from June 20th until June 22nd. Forty-nine junior scientist of the Zoonoses Platform from different disciplines attended the meeting. Supporting junior scientists is an important goal of the German Research Platform for Zoonoses. For this reason, the office on the island of Riems, Greifswald, organizes the annual JSZM at changing renowned research

Something for everyone at the Junior Scientist Zoonoses Meeting 2021. The Junior Scientist Zoonoses Meeting (JSZM) is the annual meeting of the young scientists of the Zoonoses Platform. In 2020, due to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, the meeting had to be held in a truncated form online. One year later, this pandemic continues to define many aspects of our lives. Consequently, the 2021 JSZM took place online again. But more than a year of the pandemic has also changed many things, and thanks to the experience gained with online events, an exciting exchange was still possible. Only the joint visit to

On 14 May 2019, the workshop "Vector-borne zoonoses - Current scenarios in Germany and beyond" took place at the TMF premises in Berlin. The workshop is part of a series of events jointly organized by the Academy of Public Health Düsseldorf and the National Research Platform for Zoonoses, which aim to strengthen the exchange between public health services and research. The workshop, which was attended by scientists and representatives of the public health service, addressed a variety of different arboviroses (arthropod-borne viral diseases), with a particular focus on mosquitoes and sand flies

The coronavirus pandemic has a major impact on science. It has become clear that to overcome the crisis, but also to prevent future pandemics, a holistic approach and thus the collaboration of many different disciplines is necessary. This interdisciplinary approach, often referred to as "One Health", is particularly relevant for zoonoses research, which deals with pathogens transmissible between humans and animals. Why interdisciplinarity was and is important, how it should be applied in zoonoses research in the future, and what requirements must be met for this to happen were the topics of
