The German Research Platform for Zoonoses is an information and service network, funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), for all working groups operating in Germany in the field of zoonoses research.

The objective of the platform, which now has over 600 members, is to increase the exchange of experiences at national and international levels and thus intensify research activities in the field of zoonoses research, promoting broad horizontal cross-linking of human and veterinary medicine.
