Healthy Ireland Local Government is delighted to announce our participation in the One Health Festival, taking place between November 20th and 27th, 2026, during Ireland’s Presidency of the Council of the European Union.

Working in association with the All-Ireland One Health Collaborative Network, the One Health Festival brings together colleagues and partners from universities, local authorities and other organisations, all committed to advancing One Health, an integrated and collaborative approach that highlights the deep interconnections between human, animal, plant and ecosystem health.

We are encouraging local authorities to take part in the One Health Festival. With real influence across key One Health areas, from biodiversity and environment to planning and education, local authorities are well placed to showcase their work and its impact to a wider audience.

Applications are now open and welcomed for the One Health Festival for anyone looking to host & contribute.

If you would like to submit an event, you will find more information at: https://ucd.pulse.ly/qb2xxoqgxr

The application closing date is September 11th, 2026.
