The Frontiers Research Foundation endorsed a landmark international Declaration of Intent to expedite data sharing for One Health, reinforcing its commitment to open science and interoperable, AI-ready open data management.

Announced at the One Health Summit convened by French President Emmanuel Macron in Lyon, the One Health Data Convergence Declaration of Intent sets out a shared framework to make existing and future research data across human, animal, plant, and environmental domains interoperable and coherent to provide holistic actionable outcomes. It aims to unlock data for the benefit of One Sustainable Health for All, emphasizing interoperability, shared standards, and collaboration. It encourages cooperation across existing systems rather than creating new systems.

This Declaration of Intent was initiated by ANSES (French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety) through its Green Data for Health Hub, and was prepared through extensive mobilization of international networks of the One Sustainable Health for All Foundation. Frontiers has been an active partner of the One Sustainable Health for All Foundation since August 2025, through a mission-driven strategic partnership.

Aligning with long-established open science principles, including FAIR and CARE, the Declaration of Intent also aims to balance access to data with legal and ethical safeguards. Signatories call for an international commitment to improve data interoperability, strengthen links across subject areas, and develop practical use cases that demonstrate the impact of data convergence.
