Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce a Special Issue of Environments that is focused on innovative research at the intersection of Toxicology, Biomedical Sciences, and Environmental Sciences and stems from the 1H-TOXRUN International Conference: https://toxrun.iucs.cespu.pt/congress2025/.
This Special Issue welcomes submissions from academics, researchers, and practitioners who are actively contributing to the advancement of toxicology and environmental health, including the application of these fields in diverse domains across health, the environment, and life sciences.
It also welcomes studies that operate at the interface between biomedical sciences (medicine, pharmacy, veterinary medicine, and public health) and environmental sciences, especially those exploring health determinants, One Health frameworks, or data-driven solutions to current sustainability challenges.
We encourage interdisciplinary approaches that promote actionable insights and address real-world challenges, particularly those aligned with the One Health framework and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
We invite original research and reviews of these fields, which should offer scientific rigor and aim to translate knowledge into impactful societal, educational, or policy outcomes.
Topics of interest include the following:
- Bridging science and entrepreneurship to drive innovation;
- Educational strategies and digital transformation;
- Health and migration challenges in a global context;
- Sustainable solutions for environmental health and transformation.
This Special Issue aims to foster a unifying approach, considering humans, animals, and environmental health under the One Health concept.
We look forward to your contributions
