The Junior Scientist Zoonoses Meeting (JSZM) of the National Research Platform for Zoonoses took place from 7-9 June 2018 at the Bernhard Nocht Institute for Tropical Medicine (Hamburg). 56 young scientists from various institutions and disciplines attended the event. During the event, Dr. Kore Schlottau (Friedrich-Loeffler-Institute, Greifswald - Isle of Riems) was elected member of the Internal Advisory Board of the Zoonoses Platform. Since 2013, the popular meeting of the Junior Scientist Zoonoses Meeting (JSZM) has been held once a year at a renowned research institution in Germany. This

The Junior Scientist Zoonoses Meeting (JSZM) is an annual event for young scientists organized by the National Research Platform for Zoonoses. In 2019, the meeting took place at the Robert Koch Institute from 20 - 22.06.2019 in Berlin. Forty-nine young scientists from different scientific fields of zoonoses research took part in the event. The support of young scientists is an important goal of the National Research Platform for Zoonoses. For this reason, the office on the island of Riems, Greifswald, organizes the JSZM every year at different locations in Germany. This year the meeting was

"One Health - more than just a slogan" With these clear words Prof. Dr. Jakob Zinsstag (Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute) began his presentation at the National Symposium on Zoonoses Research 2017 in front of more than 370 participants and provided vivid examples of the necessity of interdisciplinary cooperation. Further keynotes and presentations on important topics and results of zoonoses research followed in the period from 12 to 13 October - among others on Borna viruses, the role of anthropogenic changes in ecosystems in the spread of zoonoses and the Global Health Security

"A pathogen does not care about the distance between two places" National symposium for zoonoses research with more than 300 participants in Berlin 19.10.2016. "By trying to see the world from the pathogen's perspective, we can better prepare ourselves for the spread of emerging infections," said Prof. Dr. Dirk Brockmann (Robert Koch Institute and HU Berlin) in his keynote speech at the opening of the National Symposium on Zoo-Nose Research, which was held in Berlin on 13 and 14 October 2016 with over 300 participants. With the help of network theory, patterns could be made visible that would

International Symposium on Zoonoses Research with a focus on "Neglected Tropical Diseases" (NTDs) brings together over 400 scientists from all over the world in Berlin Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) are infectious diseases that occur mainly in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. According to the WHO, population groups primarily affected include those living in poverty, lacking access to adequate sanitation or living in close contact with animals. Globalisation and climate change are dramatically changing the potential danger posed by these often zoonotic diseases. In this

Zoonoses research is diverse and international. In order to capture the diversity of this field of research and especially its global networking in pictures, the Zoonoses Platform 2020 is holding a photo competition. Under the motto "Zoonoses around the world" all members of the zoonoses platform are invited to submit pictures. We are looking for photos that show our zoonoses bag (old or new design) at interesting places of zoonoses research and give an insight into current zoonoses research worldwide. Images within Germany with international relevance will also be considered. Together with

The first Junior Scientist Zoonoses Meeting (JSZM) took place in 2013. Over the following years, it developed into an established annual event for young researchers in the zoonoses research community. It is a forum for young scientists to exchange information, train their own expertise and build their own network. The designed venue for the meeting in 2020 was the Fraunhofer-Institute for Cell Therapy and Immunology in Leipzig. Everything was prepared and ready. The program was finalised, the guest speakers invited, the poster walls ordered and the catering menu set. But then, SARS-CoV-2

For more than 10 years the Symposium of the German Research Platform for Zoonoses is an established date in the calendars of zoonoses researchers in Germany and beyond. For 2020 the program was already fixed, and the venue site booked. First signs that this year would be different already occurred during a meeting of the office sites of the platform in the beginning of January. The meeting was occasionally interrupted by phone calls. The topic: The new coronavirus in Wuhan, China.
