💙💛 The Director-General of the World Health Organization has designated the UCD Centre for One Health as a WHO collaborating centre.
With its new designation, the centre will facilitate the implementation of the WHO agenda on One Health through aligned priorities in research and education, including advocacy, knowledge sharing, lifelong learning and capacity-building activities.
One Health is a collaborative, multisectoral, and transdisciplinary approach that recognises that people's health is closely connected to the health of animals, plants, and their shared environment.
As the first WHO Collaborating Centre on One Health in Europe, the UCD Centre for One Health will promote and foster collaboration across sectors and countries to shape the implementation of a One Health approach in the region.
This will be done through a range of activities, including developing One Health workshops, modules and outreach programmes for undergraduates, postgraduates, public servants, practitioners, policymakers and the wider public.
🗣️ UCD President Professor Orla Feely: “This designation of the UCD Centre for One Health as the first WHO Collaborating Centre on One Heath in Europe is a testament to the quality and significance of UCD’s research and education in this important multi-disciplinary space."
“Joining a network of over 800 WHO Collaborating Centres in more than 80 countries around the world provides the UCD Centre for One Health with significant opportunities to exchange knowledge and information with other world-leading institutions, to strengthen Ireland’s national capacity for training, research and collaboration for health development, and to contribute to the international health agenda."
🗣️ Dr Hans Henri P. Kluge, WHO Regional Director for Europe: “At the heart of our work at the WHO Regional Office for Europe is the commitment to collective action for a healthier region. One Health plays a key role in this, recognising the deep connections between human, animal, and environmental health.”
“In today’s world, where health challenges are more complex than ever, this approach is essential. I’m excited to announce the launch of the Region’s first One Health Collaborating Center - a hub, placed in Dublin, Ireland, dedicated to driving research that leads to actionable solutions and policy recommendations."
Speaking at the announcement, Adjunct Professor Tony Holohan, Director of UCD's One Health Centre, said, “The pandemic has shown us that the world is less resilient and more unequal than it should be. I am honoured as Director of the UCD One Health Centre that the WHO has placed its trust in us to play this important leadership role in One Health.”
The UCD Centre for One Health is a national and world-class leader in developing and facilitating strategies to implement One Health. It drives research, education, and collaboration in One Health at national, regional, and global levels.

🌊♻️ University College Dublin will lead the ecological aspects of a new €25m initiative focused on conserving and restoring the biodiversity of Ireland’s marine ecosystems.
The LIFE project aims to develop a comprehensive network of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) across the country. It is part of wider efforts to strengthen Ireland’s resilience against climate change.
It is a collaboration between the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage and three research partners from the third-level sector.
A proven tool to protect marine wildlife and aid ecosystem restoration, Ireland is committed to having 30% MPA coverage by 2030, in line with the Programme for Government, EU strategy and related UN framework. Currently 10% of Irish waters are designated as protected areas.
UCD will lead on the ecological aspects of the project, in collaboration with the University of Galway.
Speaking at the launch of LIFE, Minister for Heritage and Electoral Reform, Malcolm Noonan TD, said the project comes as “significant progress” has been made on the long-awaited MPA Bill, which will establish a legal framework for the creation and management of the conservation areas.
“It is essential that the process of identifying and managing MPAs is evidence based and transparent and involves proper engagement with stakeholders as well as experts, so that the full range of perspectives and knowledge can be taken into account and to help foster a proper sense of shared stewardship,” said (opens in a new window)Professor Tasman Crowe, UCD’s Vice President for Sustainability, who led the advisory group that reported to government as it devised the Bill.
“Ireland has a significant opportunity to make very impactful changes to protect and restore precious marine ecosystems and enable them to thrive. The changes will need to be carefully designed to ensure that they are effective and that the benefits and costs are shared as fairly as possible.”
