Findings and Output
The ZOE consortium fully embraces Open Science practices, under the premise ‘as open as possible as closed as necessary’. ZOE is pre-registered at the Open Science Framework (OSF) of the nonprofit Center for Open Science. This ensures the management of research data in line with the FAIR principles of findability, accessibility, interoperability, and reusability.
The consortium will post here ZOE’s publications and presentations at international conferences. Stay tuned!

ZOE Knowledge Exchange Platform is live online to link stakeholders interested and/or involved in research activities aiming at understanding and mitigating the risks of zoonotic and vector-borne disease emergence in relation to ecosystem degradation and associated biodiversity loss. Explore the map here (link) to find out about projects funded by the European Commission and other funding agencies that address research questions at the Biodiversity-Health Nexus.
