The Frontiers Research Foundation and the One Sustainable Health (OSH) Forum are deepening their collaboration to strengthen the global science-policy interface for health and climate. The partnership unites researchers, institutions, and policymakers ahead of the OSH For All Forum in Lyon, taking place from November 2 to 5, 2025.
The partnership builds on the OSH Forum’s ten International Working Groups (IWGs), which include more than 100 experts from over 35 countries. Frontiers will assume a strategic convening and communications role, helping the network align its research with international policy priorities and amplify its impact.
Through this collaboration, Frontiers will:
- Strengthen strategic coordination across the OSH network, ensuring alignment with global policy agendas such as those of the World Health Organisation (WHO), United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), and UN Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs).
- Amplify impact and visibility, supporting publication and communications strategies that connect OSH’s insights with policymakers, funders, and civil society.
- Foster collaboration across sectors, linking the OSH Forum’s global expert community with the broader open-science ecosystem.
- Embed transparency and trust, helping ensure that the evidence underpinning OSH’s recommendations remains open, traceable, and AI-ready for future research and policy use.
Dr Brian B. Rudkin, current Head of the OSH Forum and Strategic Initiatives, said: “The OSH Forum is more than a network – it’s a movement bringing science, policy, and society together. Working with Frontiers gives us the strategic capacity and communications reach to ensure that our collective expertise informs decisions at the highest levels.”.
Dr Franck Vazquez, Frontiers’ Open Science Director, Europe and Asia Pacific, said: “Frontiers is proud to help strengthen this unique alliance of global experts. Our mission is to make science open and actionable. Through this partnership, we’re helping the OSH Forum translate knowledge into impact – connecting evidence with the policies that shape our shared future.”
