The European Commission’s Directorate-General for Research & Innovation (DG RTD) will hold a high-level conference entitled “Research Perspectives on the Health Impacts of Climate Change” which will bring together climate change and health researchers, funders and policymakers to reflect on the current challenges, priorities and needs for research and researchers in this area.

Additionally, the conference will support the launch of a strategic research and innovation agenda (SRIA) identifying the priority topics for the years to come on climate change and health research.

The conference will feature sessions categorised under several themes:

  • Theme 1: Short and long-term impacts of climate change
    Theme 2: Climate change in the context of other environmental stressors
    Theme 3: Climate change and the health sector
    Theme 4: A global research agenda on climate change and health

Moreover, there will be an exhibition space on the conference premises which participants will be able to visit throughout the event. The deadline to submit a poster proposal is 19 January 2024.

More information about the conference and the pre-registration is available on the event website.
