Within the field of One Health many different disciplines are involved, an interdisciplinary approach in research is essential. The main aim of the master’s programme One Health is to to educate interdisciplinary researchers on the interface of public health, animal health and environmental health. In this week the students will start developing their interdisciplinary research skills. The course gives an overview of interdisciplinary principles and provides instructions on how to apply these in a research project.  Examples of interdisciplinary research projects will be discussed. The students will do exercises to practice their interdisciplinary research skills. They will apply the interdisciplinary principles they are acquainted with in an assignment on a relevant societal topic in which population dynamics is highlighted.
