A graduate in veterinary medicine with a specialization in public health from the French National School of Veterinary Services, Cedric Colmar has developed extensive expertise in animal health, public health, and food safety policies at national, European, and international levels. Early in his career, he worked as a consultant, assessing the socio-economic impact of public policies, providing technical expertise to private laboratories, and developing quality management systems for the agrifood sector.

Cedric later served as a scientific expert at the French National Agency for Veterinary Medicines (ANSES-ANMV), contributing to national pharmacovigilance and representing France as a European expert within the European Medicines Agency (EMA). This role offered valuable experience in EU decision-making, negotiation processes, and international representation, including chairing a working group.

Committed to public service and international engagement, Cedric became a Veterinary Public Health Inspector for the French Ministry of Agriculture and Food, with roles spanning health inspection leadership and European and international health affairs. To deepen his knowledge in global governance and diplomacy, Cedric completed an intensive Master's program in international governance and diplomacy at Sciences Po Paris, focusing on advocating for the "One Health" approach in global health policies.

Since January 2023, Cedric has been serving as Director of Partnerships, International, and European Affairs at VetAgro Sup, contributing to the institution's strategic development and international collaborations. In 2025, he was also elected Vice-Chair of the FrOGH network, gathering French-speaking academic actors in Global Health and One Health.
