Student Highlight
Charlotte Bradstrup Ottendahl: One Health in the Arctic PhD Course and NUNAMED 2025
Charlotte participated in the One Health in the Arctic PhD course funded through the project YoungArctic (funded by the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs) and it is an activity under the UArctic Thematic Network on Health and Well-being in the Arctic.
"The integration of the course with the NUNAMED conference was particularly valuable. It allowed us to engage with a broader community of researchers, practitioners, and policymakers, and to present the outcomes of our course work in designated sessions during the conference."
