On November 16, 2024, the OH-BOOST team joined the vibrant atmosphere of the AHHAA Science Center in Tartu to host a memorable One Health Day. Visitors came for AHHAA’s exciting exhibits and activities but stayed to discover our hands-on workshops and engaging lectures, which explored the deep connections between the health of humans, animals, and the environment.
From September 30th to October 20th, 2024, Rohish Kaura, a participant of the OH-Boost project, successfully completed a three-week hybrid training program titled “Clinical Research (CVM)” at the University of Helsinki. Led by Professor Heli Simojoki, the Vice Dean of the Veterinary Faculty, this comprehensive training aimed to equip participants with essential skills in clinical research focused on ruminant health and veterinary practices.
From October 14-18, 2024, veterinary specialists Egne Kahro and Julia Linek from the Estonian University of Life Sciences participated in a job shadowing visit at the University of Helsinki's Faculty of Veterinary Medicine. This five-day program focused on best practices in equine clinical care and veterinary training, aiming to enhance veterinary education and research capabilities in Estonia.
The 2nd MOVE Symposium, held in Belgrade, Serbia, from October 8–11, 2024, brought together leading researchers to advance extracellular vesicle (EV) science. This dynamic event covered key topics such as EV biogenesis, novel preparation techniques, biomarkers, therapeutic applications, and more.
From 16th to 20th of September, 2024, Triin Rolanto participated in the Training Cycle “Clinical Research (CVM)” as part of the OH-Boost project. The three-week hybrid training, conducted by the University of Helsinki, combined theoretical seminars with hands-on veterinary practice at the University’s Equine Clinic.

On September 12, 2024, the Researcher Forum by University of Helsinki brought together experts, researchers, and students to share insights and foster collaboration. The event featured two engaging sessions of research group presentations, covering topics like animal welfare, zoonotic diseases, host-microbe interactions, and innovative therapies.
From September 6-7, 2024, our OH-BOOST team journeyed from Tartu, Estonia, to Riga, Latvia, to participate in the much-anticipated joint conference hosted by the Baltic Society of Extracellular Vesicles (BSEV) and the Polish Society for Extracellular Vesicles (PSEV). The theme, "The Good, the Bad, and the Unknown – The Roles of EVs in Health and Disease," set the stage for deep discussions on the complex roles extracellular vesicles (EVs) play in health and disease.
On August 9th, 2024, the One Health-Boost (OH-Boost) team from the Estonian University of Life Sciences (EMÜ) gathered together six panelists to share a discussion titled “Boosting One Health; Cross-Border Threats” at Opinion Festival (Arvamusfestival) in Paide, Estonia. This was the festival's 12th year and it attracted nearly 11,000 attendees overall.
