2010 JOINT CONFERENCE OF THE ISES-ISEE, SEOUL, KOREA

描述(申请人提供)：2010年国际暴露科学学会和国际环境流行病学学会联合年会将于2010年8月28日至9月1日在韩国首尔COEX会展中心(http://www.coex.co.kr/eng/index.asp).)举行。这将是一次大型的多学科国际科学会议，重点是人类暴露分析、流行病学和环境健康科学。这次会议的目的是将来自世界各地许多环境和公共卫生领域的科学家聚集在一起，介绍、交流和传播关于暴露科学和环境流行病学领域的最新进展和研究应用的信息和想法。总的主题是技术、环境可持续发展和健康。重点将放在交流信息和发展跨研究学科和组织的合作上，以解决在全球环境视角下导致环境因素暴露和健康风险的复杂关系。此外，会议形式允许科学家在经过同行评议选择过程后，就与暴露科学、流行病学和环境健康科学相关的任何主题提出重要的和新兴的研究。2010年大会旨在促进来自发展中国家、整个亚洲和世界各地的成员的参与，并将举办专门针对知识转让和促进与发展中国家科学家合作的讲习班。我们学会的成员进行与许多NIH研究所相关的研究，这次会议将像以前的会议一样，讨论反映NIEHS和其他研究所的战略优先事项的几个突出主题。 与公共卫生相关：这次联合会议在促进来自世界各地的主要暴露科学家和环境流行病学家之间的对话方面发挥了重要作用。它还为年轻的科学家和学生提供了与更资深的调查人员互动的机会。最后，它已经成为讨论尖端问题的主要场所之一，其主题是“技术、环境可持续发展和健康”。2010年在韩国首尔举行的会议将通过促进来自美国、欧洲和亚洲的领先环境科学家与发展中世界存在重大环境危害地区的研究人员和公共卫生官员之间的跨国合作，显著增强对公共卫生的影响。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The 2010 Joint Annual Conference of the International Society of Exposure Science (ISES) and the International Society for Environmental Epidemiology (ISEE) will be held on August 28th through September 1st, 2010, at the COEX Convention & Exhibition Centre in Seoul, Korea (http://www.coex.co.kr/eng/index.asp). It will be a large multi-disciplinary international scientific conference, focusing on human exposure analysis, epidemiology, and environmental health science. The purpose of this meeting is to bring together scientists from many environmental and public health fields worldwide to present, exchange, and disseminate information and ideas about recent advances and research applications in the fields of exposure science and environmental epidemiology. The overall theme is Technology, Environmental Sustainability and Health. The emphasis will be on exchanging information and developing collaborations across research disciplines and organizations to address the complex relationships that lead to exposure and health risks from environmental factors in the context of a global environmental perspective. In addition, the conference format allows scientists to present important and emerging research on any topic related to exposure science, epidemiology, and environmental health science, after a peer-review selection process. The 2010 conference aims to facilitate the participation of members from developing countries, throughout Asia and worldwide, and will have workshops specifically aimed at knowledge transfer and fostering collaboration with scientists from developing countries. Our Societies' members conduct research that is relevant to many NIH Institutes, and the conference, as it has in previous meetings, will address several salient topics that reflect the NIEHS's and other Institutes' strategic priorities. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This joint conference plays an important role in facilitating a dialogue among leading exposure scientists and environmental epidemiologists from around the world. It also provides opportunities for young scientists and students to interact with more senior investigators. Finally, it has become known as one of the leading venues for discussion of cutting edge issues encompassed by its theme "Technology, Environmental Sustainability and Health." The 2010 conference location in Seoul, Korea will significantly enhance the public health impact by facilitating multi-national collaboration between leading environmental scientists from the United States, Europe, and Asia with researchers and public health officials from regions of the developing world with major environmental hazards.
