The project brings together a multi-disciplinary consortium from The Arctic University of Norway (UiT), the Norwegian Veterinary Institute (NVI), the Norwegian Institute of Bioeconomy Research (NIBIO), Addis Ababa University (AAU), and the Malawi University of Science and Technology (MUST) to address the gaps in the training of One Health professionals at AAU (Ethiopia) and MUST (Malawi). The novel study program has been developed at both the PhD and MSc levels at AAU and MUST, which will serve as a model for adaptation and scaling in other countries within the region.
