         Satellite event / side event by                •   It was agreed that once the proposals are submitted
         Member States                                      by the MSAB, the EFSA Conference Project Team will
                                                            advise on timing and on possible ways forward.
         MSAB members inquired whether it would
         be possible for them to organise a satellite
         event (before the Conference) or a side
         event (during the Conference) on risk
         assessment partnerships

main points raised / discussed

         Making the One Health goals                 •   As part of the discussion, it was clarified that the One
         operational in practice                         Health ambition/vision will be presented during
                                                         the opening plenary session. This will set the scene
         MSAB members suggested a debate about           for the Conference, and thus define the frame for the
         One Health in the opening plenary session
                                                         thematic sessions.
         and suggested that the One Health
         ambition should be more explicit in the
         description of the thematic sessions        •   In the final plenary session, all relevant considerations
                                                         made in the opening plenary session and during the
                                                         thematic discussions would be integrated to make
                                                         recommendations for the future both in the domain of
                                                         science and policy. These recommendations will
                                                         explore how to translate the One Health vision

main points raised / discussed

                                                      •   During the discussion, it was recognised that it is
         Suggestions on format                            challenging to ensure that participants review & digest
                                                          pre-recorded talks before the Conference.
         MSAB members suggested that pre-
         recorded talks can help in dedicating more
         time for scientific discussions (incl.       •   Keynote talks, discussion rounds and moderated
         engagement with online participants)             panel discussions are being considered for the
                                                          different sessions of the Conference.

                                                      •   Shorter & dynamic thematic sessions will be held
                                                          to keep participants engaged (in particular those
                                                          connecting remotely).
