Flanders Vaccine warmly invites you to celebrate a major milestone: the 10th edition of Immunity for Health, taking place on October 1-2, 2025 in the vibrant city of Ghent, Belgium.
This flagship event serves as a key platform for researchers, industry professionals, and policymakers to exchange knowledge, explore innovations, and foster meaningful collaborations in the fields of preventive and therapeutic health solutions.
2025 Theme: One Health – One Future
This year, we spotlight the vital interconnection between human, animal, and environmental health—a concept known as "One Health," which is central to addressing today’s most urgent global health challenges. This holistic approach recognizes that the health of people is closely linked to the health of animals and the environment we all share. In an increasingly interconnected world, issues such as climate change, deforestation, and industrial agriculture are reshaping the way diseases emerge and spread. Climate-driven shifts in disease patterns, the growing threat of antimicrobial resistance, and the rise of new infectious diseases that jump from animals to humans (zoonoses) highlight the urgent need for cross-sector collaboration. By understanding and acting on these interdependencies, we can better prevent health crises and build more resilient communities worldwide.
