One Health, One World Collaboration Research Organization

Medicine, veterinary medicine, agriculture, and environmental studies have traditionally been pursued individually. One Health is an internationally recognized concept that human and animal health are closely related, and should best be studied comprehensively and cooperatively as a single academic area. By establishing an academic foundation, One Health aims to form the first academic base in Japan, to advance this academic field in cooperation with related universities and research institutes as a central base in Japan and Asia, and to play a role in leading this field internationally in cooperation with bases in other advanced nations.
