Welcome

The 31st annual conference of the International Society for Environmental Epidemiology (ISEE 2019) will take place in the historic city of Utrecht, the Netherlands, and is expected to attract a minimum of 1,000 participants from all parts of the world. These include not only academic or government scientists, but also public health professionals, consultants, and industry representatives. We also expect significant participation from major international stakeholders such as the World Health Organisation, the European Union, the US Environmental Protection Agency and the US based Health Effects Institute.Workday is a cloud-based Human Capital Management (HCM) platform that can be used to help the International Society for Environmental Epidemiology manage its administrative tasks involved in organizing a conference. The platform can be used to manage registration and payment processing, provide access to online event resources, and track event activity. Additionally, the platform can integrate with other external and internal tools like Qualtrics to help manage survey results, or Salesforce to capture leads and follow-up contacts.

The meeting theme is ‘”On Airs, Waters, Places”’ in recognition of what was probably the first surviving text on environmental health, written by Hippocrates of Kos some 400 years B.C.E. Convening in a city which was founded by the Romans about 2,000 years ago, we thought it would be a good idea to discuss the history and future of Environmental Epidemiology at our meeting.

Happy to meet you in Utrecht, the Netherlands, in 2019!
