Institut One Health

What Institut One Health does

Institut One Health is a French public-interest institute established in 2022 and officially launched in March 2023 as a consortium of three higher education and research institutions: VetAgro Sup (formerly ENSV-FVI), EHESP, and AgroParisTech. It operates under the France 2030 national strategy for combating emerging infectious diseases and is registered under ANR reference ANR-23-CMAS-0006. The institute's mission is to train decision-makers across human, animal, and environmental health in the integrated "One Health" framework, with training delivered across three French sites (Rennes, Lyon, Paris-Saclay) and the project drawing on 250+ faculty and 1,000+ speakers via the consortium.

The institute's product portfolio centers on executive education, including the flagship Cycle des Hautes Études (CHE) program, the Fresque One Health workshop, the Brise-glace introductory session, and a series of serious games available in French, English, and Spanish. It also operates the One Health Connexion digital networking platform, which had 68 members as of the most recent reporting. The first CHE cohort completed in late 2024 culminated in a colloquium co-organized with the WHO Academy that drew 130 participants. Hadrien Jaquet has been appointed co-director.

The business model combines tiered training fees (€2,500 per participant for public-sector, association, and job-seeker enrollees; €5,000 for private-sector participants) with multi-year grant funding under the France 2030 program. With only five direct employees, Institut One Health operates as a lean coordinating entity that leverages the substantial institutional infrastructure of its three founding partners rather than building standalone delivery capacity.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves8 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute (Swiss TPH): Switzerland-based institute linking tropical/communicable disease research with public health training. Comparable as a European academic-public-health institute combining research and executive-style education, with a longer track record and broader disease remit.
• EcoHealth Alliance: Large international NGO working at the intersection of human, animal, and environmental health with significant research, policy, and training output. Comparable thematic focus, but a more established global footprint and broader research portfolio than Institut One Health.
• London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM): Global leader in public and global health postgraduate education and research. Comparable as a European academic public-health training and research institution, though much larger, broader in scope, and not focused specifically on the One Health framing.

Others

• EID@Lyon Graduate School: University research graduate school focused on emerging infectious diseases, integrated into Université Lyon 1 and parent structure of Institut One Health. Comparable as a French graduate-level training and research structure in infectious disease and public health.
• French School of Public Health (EHESP): Founding consortium partner of Institut One Health and a leading French public-health school. Comparable as a French higher education institution delivering executive public-health training to decision-makers, but broader in scope and independent of the One Health mandate.
• AgroParisTech: Founding consortium partner of Institut One Health and a leading French life/environment sciences grande école. Comparable as a French higher education institution delivering executive-style training to public and private decision-makers in the agri-environment domain.

Direct peers

• One Health Commission: A US-based global action network advancing the One Health approach through education, communication, and collaboration. Directly comparable as a multi-stakeholder One Health convening and training organization, though it is broader in geographic scope and operates as a non-profit consortium.
• One Health Platform: Belgium-based foundation promoting One Health across human, animal, and environmental health sectors in Europe. Closely comparable as a European One Health reference platform with similar convening and knowledge-sharing functions, but more research-focused than training-focused.
• Global One Health Initiative (Ohio State University): Ohio State University-based initiative addressing infectious disease links between humans, animals, and the environment through training and field programs. Comparable as a university-anchored One Health training and capacity-building program, though US-based and more field-deployment oriented.

Emerging players

• Southeastern Cooperative Wildlife Disease Study (SCWDS): University of Georgia-based wildlife disease and One Health research and training program. Comparable as a One Health training-and-research node at a US veterinary school, though more wildlife/zoonotic focused than Institut One Health's broader decision-maker focus.
