We believe that it is important for students to see how the one health approach as well as research in the infectious diseases field is applied in the real world, therefore we wish to expose them to a few examples of international researchers and professionals  that are currently working in this field. Furthermore, it will help all assistants to the event, but particularly the students and alumni, to get to know the different options they have after graduation as well as the different fields that they could pursue for their professional career development, being in academia, the industry, government or international agencies by enabling them to meet and network with the invited speakers and other event assistants. Additionally, we aim to promote international collaboration and scientific interdisciplinary exchanges with our event.
