Abstract

The 8th UK and Ireland Occupational & Environmental Epidemiology Meeting, directed towards those who undertake research in occupational and/or environmental epidemiology, will be held on 3 April 2014 at the National Heart and Lung Institute (Imperial College), London SW3.

This event is suitable for all with research interests in occupational and environmental epidemiology. Early career researchers are particularly welcome.

Held each year from 2005, the aim is to enable cross-fertilization of research interests between those with an interest in occupational and environmental epidemiology. Various topics are examined in a fairly informal environment, and encourage discussion and collaborative networking. Abstract submissions are warmly invited (deadline Friday 17 January).
