Symposium
Cross-Border Cooperation Environmental Health

12-01-2012

The Maas-Rhine Euregion is well known for its cross border cooperation (for examples addiction care, prevention of overweight and infectious disease control). Environmental Health is another important topic that could benefit from an international cooperation. From the prevention and intervention prospect, the indoor environment is a suitable topic to explore the possibilities of an international collaboration. This will be done by the Cross Border Cooperation symposium Environmental Health that will take place in Eupen, Belgium on Thursday January 12th 2012.

We kindly invite you to participate in this Cross-Border Cooperation Environmental Health symposium.
