Ökotoxikologie und Umweltchemie untersuchen, wie sich Chemikalien in unserer Umwelt verhalten und wie sie sich auf Lebewesen und Lebensgemeinschaften auswirken. Beide Disziplinen sind erforderlich, um die Umweltrisiken von Stoffen zu bewerten. Um Risiken zu begrenzen und Risiken durch neue Stoffe schnell zu erkennen, ist es notwendig, im Labor gewonnene Erkenntnisse an Fachleute aus der Praxis und Behörden weiterzugeben und so wissenschaftlich basierte Entscheidungen zu fördern. Die Entwicklung von für die Praxis tauglichen ökotoxikologischen Werkzeugen– wenn möglich international anerkannt und standardisiert – ist essentiell, um die Qualität von Wasser, Sediment, Boden und Biodiversität zu bewerten.  Ökotoxikologie und Umweltchemie sind gefordert, systemübergreifend zu denken und eine Brücke zwischen Forschung und Praxis zu schlagen: Dazu möchte die diesjährige Jahrestagung der SETAC GLB mit ihrem Fokus auf praxisrelevanten Themen beitragen. Im Rahmen einer Session zum „International Year of Soil“ wird auf die wichtige Rolle der Böden im Ökosystem eingegangen. Auch die Freisetzung von Schadstoffen aus Baumaterialien wird als Thema behandelt.  Die Tagung ist ein Forum für den Wissensaustausch zwischen Fachleuten aus Behörden, Privatwirtschaft und Forschung. Die Förderung des wissenschaftlichen Nachwuchses ist wie immer ein besonders grosses Anliegen.

Participants will address new solutions for the most neglected populations on the planet and especially how to apply the best science for global health challenges. Throughout plenaries, seminars and six to eight parallel scientific sessions, the conference will reflect on global health challenges, neglected diseases, the millennium development goals and what comes after. The event will also offer a platform to reinforce and further promote public-private-partnerships and policy dialogue towards addressing global health challenges. The congress will provide a forum for scientists, politicians, NGOs, and public and private health experts to exchange new ideas and to discuss solutions to the global health challenges of today and tomorrow.

The essence of epidemiology is to measure disease occurrence, pattern, causes and effects of health and disease conditions. Observations are carried out in defined populations which then can be compared with other target groups. The current seminar introduces the commonly used measures that help our understanding of the burden and distribution of disease and the measurement of disease outcomes in relation to a population at risk. This Seminar is designed to provide a forum for scientists, clinicians, and public and private health experts to exchange new ideas and to discuss problems and solutions to the current global health burden and challenges in the future.
