Engaging the health community in environmental health issues - workshop in Paris

The Health and Environment Alliance (HEAL) and the United States collaborative of Health and Environment (CHE) are to hold a workshop in Paris entitled networking & engaging health communities in environmental health issues on November 10th 2006.


The aim of the workshop is to bring together key people from the health and environment sectors to exchange views, ideas and look at ways that HEAL, CHE and key constituencies can collaborate and complement each other’s work in 2007. The workshop will also provide an ideal opportunity to reflect on the ARTAC congress which is taking place in Paris the day before.

The issues intended for discussion are:

- Ways to increase engagement of research, health communities, and health-impacted groups on environmental health issues

- Tools & strategies to publicise or highlight scientific evidence on environmental health effects

- How to build connections between CHE, HEAL and other interested constituencies/organisations

- Identify top priorities, key topics and emerging common interests for joint collaboration; determine initiatives to pursue in 2007 and the future.

- The differences & similarities of constituencies working on environmental health in US & EU and how we can complement each other’s work.

Date 10th November 2006 (9.00am to 4.00pm)

Location Paris, 14th arrondissment
