The OSH Factory: From Science That Guides to Solutions That Transform
On the occasion of World One Health Day, the OSH for All Foundation and the OSH Forum are organising the 3rd edition of the One Sustainable Health (OSH) Factory, on November 3, 2026, in Lyon, at the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC).
Following two editions that showcased more than 100 projects from over 70 countries, the OSH Factory is entering a new phase: translating the One Sustainable Health approach into concrete, replicable and scalable solutions that can serve territories, both locally and internationally.
For this 3rd edition, the OSH Factory and OSH Forum are joining forces around:
Territorial habitability: from inspiration to action
Climate, water, biodiversity, soil, pollution, health and inequalities: these crises are interconnected and mutually reinforcing. Simply highlighting the links between human, animal and environmental health is no longer enough. We must also act on the very conditions that shape our shared future, through preventive and adaptive solutions.
This 3rd edition places territorial habitability at the heart of its ambition. It aims to protect water, soil and air, restore biodiversity, promote healthy food systems and adapt our cities. It also seeks to turn data into genuine decision-making levers.
Four Living Labs to turn ideas into solutions
Elected representatives, local authorities, companies, NGOs, foundations, researchers and institutions will come together around four key challenges:
- Water as a One Health Sentinel
- Living Soil & Sustainable Food
- Healthy & Habitable Cities
- One Health, Data & AI
The objective is not simply to share ideas, but to bring together different areas of expertise to advance concrete solutions, identify the barriers and levers for their deployment, and build the connections needed to take them to scale.
The November 3 OSH Factory becomes a major annual gathering
The November 3 event marks an important milestone in a process designed to continue over the long term, contributing in particular to the achievement of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.
The work initiated through the Living Labs will contribute to the development of a One Sustainable Health solutions catalogue, designed to raise the visibility of identified initiatives and facilitate connections with territories and partners able to support their further development.
The OSH Factory thus embodies the new ambition of the OSH Forum: to accelerate innovative cooperation and turn it into concrete, operational solutions.
Thanks to the strategic partners of the OSH for All Foundation, who support the OSH Forum and the OSH Factory, we look forward to welcoming you to Lyon on November 3 for a unique moment of convergence!

President, OSH for All Foundation
The OSH Factory at a Glance
The One Sustainable Health (OSH) Factory is a collaborative, dynamic and inspiring space dedicated to building and accelerating innovative, transdisciplinary and multi-stakeholder projects around the One Sustainable Health approach.
This 3rd edition is structured around four Living Labs:
- Water as a One Health Sentinel
- Living Soil & Sustainable Food
- Healthy & Habitable Cities
- One Health, Data & AI
The Living Labs are collaborative working spaces where demonstrator projects, expertise and on-the-ground stakeholders come together to develop concrete solutions that support the habitability of territories.
The aim is to bring together different perspectives — researchers, elected representatives, local authorities, businesses, NGOs, funders, and experts in human and animal health, biodiversity, water, soil and data — and to identify the issues that require new forms of cooperation.

Operational Focus #1 — Water and Soil: Reading Living Systems to Act Wisely Together
What the soil retains. What the water carries.
Water and soil are sentinels of territorial health. What we do to living systems, the soil records and the water carries — sometimes far, often for a long time.
But we first need to know how to read and cross-reference these signals. How can we move from data to alert, from alert to decision, and from decision to action?
This operational session will bring together those working on initiatives that integrate the links between water, soil, biodiversity and health. Their shared ambition is to turn this knowledge into a driver for action across territories.

Operational Focus #2 — Healthy & Liveable Cities : Building with People and Nature
Heatwaves, droughts, floods: implementing preventive and adaptive action, here and elsewhere
Cities concentrate populations, activities and vulnerabilities. But they are also powerful laboratories where new responses are already being developed.
How can we adapt our cities to climate and health challenges while concretely improving the lives of those who live in them?
This session will bring together experiences and operational solutions that connect health, climate, urban planning, biodiversity and everyday uses. It will revolve around one central question: what can be replicated elsewhere, and under what conditions?

Operational Focus #3 — DATA & AI for One Health :
From fragmented data to actionable intelligence
From scattered data to territorial intelligence
The round table “Data & AI for One Health” will explore the building of the European (One) Health Data Space and the need for a common foundation open to the world from its very design.
Today scattered data need to be better connected, starting with environmental data that must be linked to data on all forms of health and not only human health. Tomorrow AI will accelerate this movement for the benefit of all and lead by 2035 to trusted systems that can be transposed to every territory and every geography.
This foundation is taking shape now and our recommendations will help enrich it. Those who have learned to integrate and share their data will help preserve and restore health in all its forms.

Accelerating Transitions
Presentation of the 9 Operational Challenges and the Living Labs
One principle: start from a concrete challenge and work collectively towards a solution, tool or method that can be directly put into practice.
1:00-2:00 pm
🍴 Lunch & Networking
2:00-5:00 pm
Running the 9 Thematic Workshops
In the afternoon, it’s time for action!
Following the morning discussions, participants will join one of the 9 workshops, each focusing on a concrete challenge related to the habitability of territories: water, soil, cities, and data & AI.
At each table, the objective is simple: start from a challenge, bring together different experiences and perspectives, and develop a solution or tool that can be directly put into practice. Participants will:
→ understand the challenge
→ discover and challenge inspiring projects and experiences from different territories
→ identify the conditions for success
→ explore how they could be adapted to other territories
→ develop a practical tool or solution that can be directly put into practice
9 tables → 9 challenges → 9 tools or solutions developed collectively.
Bring your experiences, questions and ideas — and leave with concrete pathways for action in your territory.
1 – Water: A One Health Sentinel for Territories
How can we make the insights from One Health water assessments accessible and actionable, so that local authorities and businesses can translate them into decisions?
2 – Water Reuse in Action
How can we turn water reuse into an operational, economically viable project that delivers benefits for the local community?
3 – The Soil–Water Nexus: One Health, from Soil to Plate
Which shared indicators of soil and water functions can help local authorities and businesses recognise and reward farmers who cultivate living soils, supporting water resources, soil fertility, biodiversity and food quality?
4 – Citizen Health Action
How can we move from viewing citizens as beneficiaries of health policies to empowering them as active participants in environmental monitoring, prevention and protection?
5 – Urban Health Observatory
Which data should be cross-referenced to detect urban health risks at an early stage and enable cities to take action before a crisis occurs?
6 – Sponge & Healthy City
How can urban water and soil management become a joint driver of climate resilience, biodiversity and health?
7 – A European Framework with an International Outlook
The development of the European One Health Data Space is getting underway (2028–2034): who has an interest in sharing which data, and under what conditions, to connect environmental data with all dimensions of health, in Europe and internationally?
8 – Cross-Referencing Data to Tackle Problems at Their Source
As AI continues to advance, what questions must territories address, and what environmental data should be brought together on a shared baseline to tackle problems at their source rather than simply fixing the consequences?
5:00-5:30 pm
Synthesis & 2027 Commitments
9 – Knowledge into Action
The diagnostics exist, and so do the solutions. How can data and AI bring them together to inform decision-making and enable decisions that can be clearly communicated to residents, from rural municipalities to major metropolitan areas?
