Planetary Health Innovations: Translating Environmental Epidemiology into Action
The International Society for Environmental Epidemiology (ISEE) Annual Meeting is a major global conference that brings together researchers, public health professionals, policymakers, and students focused on understanding how environmental factors affect human health. Held each year in different international locations, the meeting serves as a key forum for presenting cutting-edge scientific research, sharing knowledge, and fostering collaboration across disciplines related to environmental epidemiology.
The conference program will include a wide range of activities such as keynote lectures, scientific sessions, workshops, panel discussions, and poster presentations. These sessions explore topics like air pollution, climate change, occupational and environmental exposures, and health inequities, reflecting both emerging issues and long-standing challenges in the field. The meeting also emphasizes professional development by offering guidance on presenting research, networking effectively, and navigating academic and applied career paths.
A defining feature of the ISEE Annual Meeting is its strong focus on community building and mentorship. Initiatives led by groups such as the Student and New Researchers Network help early-career participants engage with established experts and maximize their conference experience. Additionally, ISEE promotes responsible and inclusive conferencing through guidelines on professional conduct and environmental sustainability.
The ISEE Annual Meeting plays a critical role in advancing environmental health science by connecting a diverse international community dedicated to improving public health through research, collaboration, and evidence-based action.
Meet our Conference Mascot!
Found only in Borneo’s riverside forests and wetlands - including the forests of Sabah - the proboscis monkey is endangered, threatened by the loss and fragmentation of its forest habitat, symbolizing the connection between healthy ecosystems and a healthy future. Protecting its habitat supports biodiversity, climate resilience, and the broader goals of planetary health, making it a fitting mascot for this year’s conference.
