Background and objectives
In the era of global environmental change, we must improve the connections between environment, climate and health. The challenges we face are undeniably complex and numerous. Therefore, in-depth, transdisciplinary fundamental and applied knowledge is required, as well as science dissemination, science-policy-society dialogue. The knowledge and dialogue will help us to move forward and ensure relevant design and effective implementation of public policies on European, national and local levels.
In the framework of the HERA project (Health and Environment Research Agenda for Europe), regional stakeholder workshops are organised in order to further identify, analyse, cluster and prioritise key topics in the environment, climate and health nexus that require scientific support in Europe in the next decade.
The ideas discussed during this workshop provide an opportunity to shape future European scientific research and its applications.
