We are glad to welcome you to the International Webinar One Health over Borders – Capes/PrInt-UFSM. The Webinar is fully virtual and will be held by the Federal University of Santa Maria/Brazil, on November 23 to 25, 2021. The One Health Concept highlights the inseparable relationship between all living species and the environment that are interconnected in a symbiotic way.
Since its creation in 2004, the One Health Concept has been recognized and promoted by the United Nations and other relevant international scientific and socioeconomic players. Moreover, the emergence of the coronavirus 2019 pandemic showed the urgency of this transdisciplinary approach. However, infectious diseases are not the only threat to the human and animal health. Anthropogenic activity may pose many other risks to the maintenance of life on Earth. Thus, the development of medicines and interventions to fight non-communicable diseases and the production of safe, healthy and affordable food while assuring animal welfare and ecofriendly practices are current challenges.
The International Webinar “One Health over Borders – Capes/PrInt-UFSM” will merge the disciplinary frontiers by joining distinguished speakers in round-table transdisciplinary sessions to discuss integrative solutions for current animal-environment-human challenges. The Webinar is organized within the CAPES-PrInt Internationalization Program from the Federal University of Santa Maria. Since 2018, the CAPES-PrInt Program supports the cooperation of researchers from UFSM with foreign partners under two network interdisciplinary projects within the One Health theme: Animal health and welfare and Pharmacological and nutritional strategies for health promotion. By articulating researchers from different areas of knowledge, such as animal health and welfare, human health, food safety, education in science and visual arts, the Webinar is expected to host holistic discussions that enable accelerating the knowledge progress within these different areas and making an effective contribution to the promotion of public health.
We are counting on your participation to make this webinar a great success. We wish everyone an excellent event!

Dr. Xavier Lambert, Professor Emeritus in fine art at Jean Jaurès University, Toulouse, France. Interest ed since the early 1990s in artistic creation in its relationship to current technologies as a researcher and as an artist. Has an artistic practice that has led to questions about how digital tools could contribute to defining new postures regarding the relationship between the artist and his work, particularly because of the procedural dimension that characterizes this type of production. It is in this perspective that the research has focused on the question of systems as a process and as a conceptual tool referring to an increasing number of practices in the field of contemporary art. The field of study covers in particular the practices related to contemporary technologies, whether they are digital technologies, bio-technologies, etc. And, more recently but in continuation, he is interested on how to approach certain poetic processes from the cognitive sciences, from a practice on a certain form of automatic drawing.
