\nAbstract Submission<\/strong><\/h4>\nThe theme for this conference is\u00a0\u201cHealth and the environment: the need for solutions\u201d<\/strong>, so we welcome abstracts from epidemiologists, occupational exposure scientists, occupational physicians and other occupational health scientists on research that contributes to the reduction of harmful work exposures and associated ill health. The scientific programme will cover all major topics of current epidemiological research on:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Occupational\u00a0exposures<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0(e.g. metals, pesticides, solvents, dust, radiation, stress, heat, precarious employment);<\/li>\n
- Associated\u00a0health effects<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0(e.g. cancer, neurological and psychological disorders, respiratory and dermal diseases, musculoskeletal diseases and injuries); and<\/li>\n
- Occupational health research\u00a0methodology<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0(e.g. biomarkers, the exposome, novel exposure assessment techniques, intervention studies in occupational health, gene-environment interactions, systematic reviews and meta-analysis and other statistical techniques).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\nAbstract Guidelines<\/strong><\/h4>\n- \n
- Abstracts are to be no more than\u00a0300 words<\/strong><\/li>\n

- Innovative approaches and analyses are encouraged.<\/li>\n
- The proposed speakers should represent a good balance between established and new investigators, have equitable representation and reflect international diversity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Proposals are due 15 November 2018<\/strong> with final decisions made by 10 December 2018<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
Please include the following information in your proposal:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
