About us
Whether pathogens in humans, animals and plants, counterfeit drugs, antibiotic resistance, residues in food, soil and seed testing or radiation and climate protection: we are always involved in preventing and containing possible risks for humans, animals and plants in the sense of the One Health concept and thus ensuring greater safety for consumers in Austria. To ensure this, we analyze, monitor, evaluate, research and communicate 365 days a year.
The health of humans, animals, plants and the environment is closely interlinked. This One Health approach is at the centre of everything we do
Our knowledge and daily commitment make AGES an indispensable partner organisation for health and food safety in the European Union
