Welcome Message

Dear friends, colleagues, interested citizens, ISEE Community,

With great enthusiasm we announce the 34th Annual ISEE Conference in Athens, Greece, in 18-21 September, 2022, which will be the first in-person Conference after two years of fully on-line Conferences (2020, 2021).


However, having learnt from recent experience, our Conference will also have a hybrid format, expecting, in addition to around 1,200 participants who will travel to Athens, to attract several hundreds on-line participants.


The main theme of the 2022 Conference is “Strengthening the global role of environmental epidemiology”, stressing the need to study and understand local conditions in order to synthesize the knowledge and make a difference for our Planet.


The city of Athens, where a civilization developed 2,500 years ago became a global legacy, will form the background for fostering the Conference theme.

Dear friends, colleagues, interested citizens, ISEE Community,

With great enthusiasm we announce the 34th Annual ISEE Conference in Athens, Greece, in 18-21 September, 2022, which will be the first in-person Conference after two years of fully on-line Conferences (2020, 2021).


However, having learnt from recent experience, our Conference will also have a hybrid format, expecting, in addition to around 1,200 participants who will travel to Athens, to attract several hundreds on-line participants.


The main theme of the 2022 Conference is “Strengthening the global role of environmental epidemiology”, stressing the need to study and understand local conditions in order to synthesize the knowledge and make a difference for our Planet.


The city of Athens, where a civilization developed 2,500 years ago became a global legacy, will form the background for fostering the Conference theme. 

In the 2022 Conference we continue advancing our Society’s aims in promoting Epidemiological studies linking environmental exposures to human health. The issue of Climate Change and its impact on health, which needs global coordination for effective action, is central to our Conference, along with the other topics that formed the center of our activities in the past and where we have been very impactful.

 

On the exposure side we focus, in addition to climate/meteorology, on ambient and indoor air pollution, water pollution, noise, built environment and occupational exposures.

 

For health outcomes, our focus includes, effects on children and the ageing, with novel health outcomes (e.g. neurological/ neurobehavioral, mental health) and more studied ones, like cardio-metabolic and respiratory, for which we need to gain deeper understanding.

 

Environmental equity is a central topic with global dimension. Policy, following the release of revised air quality guidelines, and ethics considerations also need to be addressed both locally and globally. Our society has a tradition in working on the advancement of methodology and this Conference will include the in-depth methods developments.

 

We will work to make our Conference greener and accessible to all. We have a specific committee working on an environmentally friendly Conference and providing access to the conference for everyone who cannot or chooses, not to travel.

 

The local experience will be based on the traditional culture, including the Mediterranean cuisine emphasizing its gourmet vegetarian dishes and locally produced drinks.

 

So, we are looking forward to welcome you to ISEE 2022 and really hope that you will enjoy both the Conference as well as the Athens culture, life and spirit!
