Mission
The
International Society for Environmental Epidemiology
(ISEE) provides a forum for the discussion of problems
unique to the study of health and the environment.
With membership open to environmental epidemiologists
and other scientists worldwide, ISEE provides a variety
of forums for discussions, critical reviews, collaborations
and education on issues of environmental exposures
and their human health effects. These include annual
meetings, newsletters, workshops and liaisons with
academic, governmental, inter-governmental, non-profit
and business institutions.
Philosophy
To
foster the study of health and the environment, ISEE
encourages and supports the following:
· Epidemiological
studies on the health effects of environmental
exposures
· Communication
among epidemiologists, toxicologists, exposure
analysts, and other environmental scientists and
moral philosophers worldwide
· Innovative
approaches to substantive or methodologic problems
and applications of environmental epidemiology
· The
use of environmental epidemiology to inform public
policy
· Involvement
of scientists from developing countries in ISEE
activities, reduced dues for members from developing
countries and establishment of regional ISEE chapters
throughout the developing world.
