The Frontiers Research Foundation has signed a Declaration of Intent at the One Health Summit to support data sharing across One Health domains. The declaration was announced at the summit convened by French President Emmanuel Macron in Lyon and sets out a framework for making existing and future research data across human, animal, plant, and environmental fields interoperable and coherent.
According to the release, the declaration is intended to support actionable outcomes under a One Sustainable Health for All approach through interoperability, shared standards, and collaboration across existing systems rather than the creation of new systems.
The statement added that the declaration was initiated by ANSES, the French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety, through its Green Data for Health Hub, and was prepared through international networks of the One Sustainable Health for All Foundation.
Frontiers has been a strategic partner of the One Sustainable Health for All Foundation since August 2025. The release stated the declaration aligns with open science principles, including FAIR and CARE, and seeks to balance access to data with legal and ethical safeguards. Signatories called for international commitments to improve interoperability, strengthen links across subject areas, and develop practical use cases showing the effect of data convergence.
The foundation revealed its contribution draws on Frontiers’ work in open science publishing and on the FAIR² Data Management service, which it described as a service intended to help researchers make data AI-ready, reusable at scale, and compliant with institutional copyright, sharing, and access requirements.
