Strengthening our shared infrastructure: growth, tools, and next steps
Toward operational readiness through secure communication, institutional identity, and inclusive engagement
Reading time: 3 minutes
Executive summary: with nearly 6,500 unique visitors this past month, our network’s visibility is growing rapidly. We are now deploying WhatsApp and Telegram chatbots, issuing official institutional email addresses (@health.int.eu.org), and preparing to expand our membership by another few thousand experts by the end of the month. A coordination meeting is planned for next week, specific to support an Horizon brain health call consortium ongoing. We encourage all members to invite colleagues, especially from underrepresented and disadvantaged backgrounds, as we work to build a more resilient and inclusive action.
We are pleased to share encouraging data from the past 30 days: nearly 6,500 unique visitors accessed our EU BEACON One Health Education network official website, reflecting growing interest and international engagement with our work. This expanding visibility underscores the urgency and relevance of our collective mission:
In the coming weeks, we will deploy secure chat-bot interfaces via Telegram and WhatsApp to facilitate real-time interaction, coordination, and access to resources. All registered members will soon be eligible to receive official institutional email accounts using the domain @health.int.eu.org, either as full inboxes or forwarding aliases, depending on individual preference. Frequently asked questions and other sections will be added to the site, along with a media kit to support the launching campaign next month, covering all press and other outlets across the EU COST area and globally. Our priority remains to consolidate a robust, operationally effective and ethically grounded network, stronger, welcoming and supporting experts from diverse regions and disciplines, with particular commitment to young professionals and members from historically marginalized communities. We call on all current members to extend invitations within their trusted circles, especially to those from disadvantaged or underrepresented backgrounds.
Our next coordination meeting is scheduled for next week, with full details available at the conclusion of the following linked post:
