Economists have shown a rapidly growing interest in the relationship between environment and health. The topic has gained increased relevance in recent years with emerging global climate change (e.g. warming temperatures and extreme weather events), but also due to new insights on the detriments of environmental pollution (e.g. water and air pollution, toxins). Yet the various pathways between environmental factors, human health, child development and labour productivity are not well understood. More research is needed in order to understand the causal pathways and to identify policy interventions suitable to enhance human health and social welfare.

It is the aim of the conference to provide a forum for health economists, bringing together frontier research, which contributes to a deeper understanding of how the environment shapes health and socioeconomic outcomes.

Examples of suitable topics

• Environmental toxins, pollution and health outcomes
• The impact of the environment on mental health and subjective well-being
• Demand for clean air and environmental quality
• Dealing with adaptation behaviour
• Natural disasters
• Environmental regulation and public interventions to improve health
• Genes or environment –decomposing the intergenerational transmission of health
• Work environment, health and labour productivity
• Early life exposure –effects, mechanisms and remedies

Invited speakers

Prashant Bharadwaj, University of California, San Diego
Olivier Deschenes, University of California, Santa Barbara
Victor Lavy, University of Warwick
Ada Wossink, University of Manchester
Papers should be sent in pdf format by 28 February 2018to contact.conference@ibes.uni-due.de. Contributions from young researchers are encouraged. There is no registration fee for the conference.

Dear Colleagues,

It is a great pleasure for me to invite you to join the 13th EUROPAD

Conference, that is scheduled to be held in Krakow, Poland, on May 25-27, 2018. 



The mission of Europad has always been to promote the exchange of knowledge and interactive updating within the scientific community of addiction medicine, but also to spread an illness-centered conception of addictive disorders, heroin addiction standing as a long-dating prototype. Thereby, the structure of meeting has always tried to propose systematic updating on different issues from a common biomedical viewpoint.


Special attention will be given to the issue of correct agonist opioid therapeutic strategies for addicted patients, and to updates on the treatment of Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome, both presented in plenary sessions.

Separate symposia will be dedicated to a bunch of "hot" topics, particularly the accessibility to treatment for prisoners in different European countries, psychiatric consequences of new psychoactive substances use, and a new way to think about Dual Disorders. The identification of pre-existing factors and a specific psychopathology of substance use disorders will be proposed; psychological therapies and interventions in opioid treatment patients will also be discussed as closely related to the disease stage and to the current state of disease expression.


I’m looking forward to meeting you all in the beautiful city of Krakow!

Prof. Icro Maremmani

President: University of Pisa, Pisa, Italy

Diffusion of knowledge is the most promising path for the advancement of Science. Spreading the knowledge that is already established opens spaces for new discussions and discoveries, which guide the next challenges in the area of Toxicology based on the concerns of the scientific community. What was once summarized in forensic studies, today is the search for longevity and life quality. The current challenges are focused on reducing the toxicological effects in different living systems, while the type of exposure and amount of potential toxic agents are increasing in exposures to xenobiotic at the nanoscale.

In this context, the theme of the 2nd ToxiLatin is the modern Toxicology focused on health and prevention. Important national and international scientists are going to participate in this Congress in order to discuss and reduce the frontiers of knowledge on the use of technologies intended for potential strategies to prevent chronic noncommunicable diseases caused by chemical agents. Nanotoxicology will once again be a highlight of the Congress, thus we can move forward in ensuring the safe use of nano-drugs that can revolutionize innumerous medical treatments, such as cancer therapy.

Modern Toxicology diffuses, discusses and advances to improve the quality of human life using modern resources, alternative models and multidisciplinarity, which is peculiar to this Science. Therefore, you are invited to participate in this important Congress, which was prepared by Brazilian and international scientists, thereby ensuring that discussions and advances at the frontier of knowledge on a national and international level can be realized. Come and join us!

Protecting children\'s health in a changing environment

More than ever, children\'s health is at risk from a changing environment.

The health impacts of environmental risk factors - inadequate water and sanitation, unsafe home and recreational environments, lack of spatial planning for physical activity, indoor and outdoor air pollution, and hazardous chemicals - are amplified by recent developments such as financial constraints, broader socioeconomic and gender inequalities and more frequent extreme climate events. They pose new challenges for health systems to reduce deaths and diseases through effective environmental health interventions.

The Fifth Ministerial Conference on Environment and Health, organized by WHO/Europe and hosted by Italy, is the next milestone in the European environment and health process, now in its twentieth year. Focused on protecting children\'s health in a changing environment, the Conference will drive Europe\'s agenda on emerging environmental health challenges for the years to come.

This International Conference will address the need for the exchange of scientific information among experts on issues related to environmental toxicology, toxicity assessment and hazardous waste management. With large numbers of new chemicals entering the market every year, it has become necessary to assess their effects on ecosystems as well as minimise their impact on the environment.

http://www.wessex.ac.uk/10-conferences/environmental-toxicology-2010.html

Increasing affluence and population growth will destroy the environment, will hit the poor, and will hit next generations, unless extreme, unprecedented improvements in eco-efficiency are realised, leading to decoupling of economic growth from environmental impact. De-growth, for the richest, will be an essential ingredient. The time frames involved start now. Fundamentally new technologies in production and consumption will however require decades for their full scale introduction, and we don’t know them yet. How can we guide the right developments, based on best current knowledge, and how can we create the incentives for this key issue in long term sustainability?

The conference programme will focus on current advances in the science and research of probiotics, prebiotics and their present and future role in maintaining health and preventing diseases. IPC 2010 aims to highlight evidence-based benefits as proven in clinical trials and scientific experiments.

Further to the health effect of probiotics and prebiotics new developments in their selection, identification, production, application and delivery will be discussed. Topical subjects as safety, regulatory issues and claim substantiation will be also addressed by internationally renowned experts from industry and academia.

It is the goal of IPC 2010 to further explore the potential of already used and novel probiotics by disseminating latest results and new ways of probiotic research. In addition novel strains, controversial but scientifically solid ideas, approaches, visions will be presented, and worldwide co-operation between scientists and institutions facilitated.

Keywords: Probiotics, Prebiotics, Health Claims, Gastroenterology, Intestinal Microbiota

http://www.probiotic-conference.net/

Under the current European regulation of health claims permitted to use for the promotion of food, probiotics are subjects to considerable impediments when facing the requirements of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). Until the end of 2009 no probiotic health claims under the new EU regulation has yet received a positive opinion from the scientific assessors of EFSA. All probiotic claims referring to reduction of disease risk and to children’s development and health (Article 14) and health claims other than those referring to the reduction of disease risk and to children\'s development and health (Article 13) has been rejected by EFSA. It is the purpose of the workshop to explore the reasons for claim rejections by analysing the current situation, the reasons for failures of health claim substantiation and to present possible pathways to overcome obvious and overseen barriers.

In a knowledge society, research questions, processes and results cannot be disconnected from everyday practices. Politicians, funding bodies and society at large increasingly demand of researchers to propose efficient ways of how to use abstract findings in concrete situations and as a common good. From the very start, implementation strategies should therefore include processes of embedding the research in its social and scientific contexts, recursiveness and negotiation with non-academic actors, and testing the expected impact through ‘real-world’ experiments. How exactly to bring research results to fruition, integrate theory and practice and build truly participative collaborations are key issues of inter- and transdisciplinarity. Keynotes includes experts in the fields of public health, new media, urban planning, sustainability, action research. Please visit our website for further information. Deadline for paper/poster/workshop submissions: 3 May 2010.

The International Conference on Prehypertension and Cardio Metabolic Syndrome will focus on the public health impact, identification, etiology and pathogenesis of prehypertension as well as on intervention for preventing the adverse outcome of this prevalent condition. During recent years we discuss whether borderline blood pressure levels require treatment. It is well accepted that in patients with borderline hypertension and specific co-morbidities treatment is justified. There is no dispute that if the patient is diabetic, has CHF, proteinuria etc, treatment is justified. However, it is not clear in other conditions like asymptomatic target organ damage. ESH/ISH guidelines define borderline blood pressure values as high normal values, while the JNC VII defined a BP category of “Prehypertension” for systolic and diastolic BP: 120 to 139 mm Hg and 85 to 89 mm Hg, respectively. This new category is a continuum from prehypertension to hypertension and is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. New insights and guidelines will be presented in the pursuit of better understanding and therapy of early stages of high blood pressure. Pharmaceutical and diagnostic companies are active in testing the place of novel anti hypertensive drugs on patients with prehypertension. The conference provides a platform for presentation of basic and clinical trials research results on novel therapies.

The theme of the 4th e-Health and Environment Conference under the HBMeU 2012 Annual Congress is “Building an Innovative and Competitive Vision for e-Health and Environment” in the 21st Century. In the current state of high economic pressures, rapidly evolving healthcare technologies and documented environmental risks, the need for innovative visions becomes a priority. Previously implemented strategies fell apart form achieving the desired outcomes and calls for a new vision that takes all factors into account.

The 4th e-Health and Environment Conference will provide unique opportunities for researchers to build this new vision through tackling specific healthcare and environmental topics. These topics are presented in the following section which represents priority topics for the conference sessions. Although topics have been categorized into healthcare and environmental ones, this by no means intend to separate both concepts, on the contrary, topics merging both fields will be appreciated

The third International Conference on Disaster Management is being reconvened following the success of the first two meetings, held at the Wessex Institute of Technology in the New Forest, UK, in 2009 and at the University of Central Florida in Orlando, USA, in 2011.
The world is facing an increasing number of natural disasters affecting millions of people, destroying property and resulting in loss of human life. These include major floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis and many others.
Today we are facing unparalleled threats from human-made disasters that can be attributed to the failure of industrial and energy installations as well as deliberate sabotage from terrorists and vandalism during virulent political upheavals.
Added to this is the ever present threat from natural causes ranging from biological pandemics to earthquakes and tsunamis. All these events pose unprecedented risks to human health on a world scale which requires a massive effort by the international community. Because of this, the conference also focuses on current global health risks, and how best to prepare for, respond to and recover from disasters in order to reduce human health impacts.

The last decade has seen the idea of complexity gain force in social science and epidemiological research. As social problems of all kinds prove less amenable to change than is sometimes suggested by the reductionist demands of orthodox positivist approaches, theory and method have turned to ways of articulating the elusive, uncertain and complex.

For some, such as the science and technology studies scholars Annemarie Mol and John Law (2002), complexity means multiplicity rather than unity, realities rather than reality, distinct but overlapping worlds, logics and orders. Implicated, too, are questions about the relation between order and chaos, and the validity of binaries of any kind, including that of simplicity and complexity itself.

This conference offers a forum in which the issues and dilemmas of complexity in alcohol and other drug research can be explored. It welcomes research based on quantitative and qualitative methods, and encourages innovative use of methods, concepts and theoretical approaches. Following the conference, Contemporary Drug Problems, an interdisciplinary quarterly and one of the driving forces behind the conference, will publish a special issue featuring selected papers from the conference.

The World Diabetes Congress is one of the world’s largest health-related congresses and the only truly global meeting in diabetes, bringing together over 15,000 delegates, more than 400 high-level speakers, over 80 international exhibitors and representatives from over 200 diabetes member associations from more than 160 countries.

Attendees of IDF Congresses come from very diverse backgrounds: research scientists, physicians and other health care professionals (nurses, general practitioners, dieticians, diabetes educators...), non-profit organizations and health policy makers.

The World Diabetes Congress 2013 in Melbourne, Australia offers opportunities to both commercial and non-commercial organizations to showcase their products and services to the largest global gathering of diabetes healthcare professionals in the world. With over 4,000 square metres of prime exhibition space, organisations can effectively reach the international diabetes community in the global response to Diabetes.

After almost two decades, the World Diabetes Congress is returning to the Western Pacific, the region that has the largest percentage of undiagnosed cases and the highest number of deaths attributable to diabetes, with 1.7 million deaths among adults or over 15% of all deaths in 2011. In Australia, it is estimated that 8 per cent of the population is living with diabetes. This is forecast to increase to 14% over the next twenty years. A big problem is manifesting itself in Australia’s Indigenous population where 30% of people are thought to have diabetes. This is why, twenty years after the 1994 congress in Kobe Japan, the World Diabetes Congress is returning to the region, and will be held in Melbourne, Australia from 2 to 6 December 2013.

Melbourne’s location makes the Congress accessible to delegates from China and India, two countries where large portions of the population have diabetes. Melbourne’s infrastructure makes it possible for delegates to find accommodation and travel around at reasonable prices.

This biennial conference commenced life in Fremantle in 1992, where it lived before migrating to Seattle in 2005 and Boston in 2009 before returning to Fremantle, Western Australia in 2011, and again in 2015. While the main emphasis of the meeting has always been on fatigue in transportation, other industries such as resources and health have also been strongly represented. Cross fertilization of research findings have been a particular strength of our meetings in the past, and will be again in 2015.

We can assure delegates that Fremantle has been hugely popular in the past with its mix of civilized/urbane recreation in a cosmopolitan harbour side resort with activities for everyone in one of the world’s best climates for outdoor living at this time of year. The conference too has a tradition of a laid back, relaxed, convivial style with occasional improvised sessions thrown in, where enthusiastic delegates have been able to continue to debate a compelling issue or technique. We have always been graced by some of the most significant researchers and compelling speakers as we are sure we will be in March 2015. Come and join us to hear them.

Healthy Buildings 2015 Europe is a conference organized by ISIAQ.nl and the Eindhoven University of Technology, under the auspices of ISIAQ International.

As we spend around 90% of our time indoors and exposure therefore is high a good (healthy) indoor environment is important. Though we have come a long way there is still ample room for improvement.

Indoor air science from the start has been a multidisciplinary effort; designing buildings is an integral effort. Both indicate the need to learn from each other, to work with each other and to look at boundaries as opportunities but not to forget where we come from.

With Healthy Buildings 2015 Europe the aim is to provide a platform where we walk along these boundaries and open views and gain knowledge from adjacent scientific fields whereas at the same time we enjoy and acknowledge the new developments and research results within our own broad field. Of course we will not forget the application potential of all the good work being performed.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (ODPHP) is requesting abstracts addressing the science of healthy aging for presentation at the 2015 Healthy Aging Summit, July 27-28, 2015 in Washington, DC. 

Now is the time to examine the critical factors that contribute to healthy aging. Older Americans are a key part of our urban, rural and tribal communities as they have spent a lifetime contributing. Estimates of the U.S. population in 2010, revealed more than 40 million adults age 65 and older. By 2030, this figure is projected to increase to 72 million. Health care expenditures (both out-of-pocket costs and those covered by insurance) for Medicare beneficiaries over time are expected to rise for persons over 65 years of age. Encouraging healthy lifestyles, along with improving the delivery of preventive services, can help older Americans stay healthier longer and improve quality of life in later years. 

Using a social determinants of health lens to focus on prevention in healthy aging. What are the upstream factors that contribute to living longer, healthier lives? This Summit seeks to highlight place-based interventions and strategies that optimize health and prevent entry into the health care system.  A greater understanding of the social, environmental and emotional factors that influence health in the later years of life can improve quality of life and reduce health care costs.
