ISEE's Mission • The International Society for Environmental Epidemiology (ISEE) provides a forum for the discussion of problems unique to the study of health and the environment. • With membership open to environmental epidemiologists and other scientists worldwide, ISEE provides a variety of forums for discussions, critical reviews, collaborations and education on issues of environmental exposures and their human health effects. These include annual meetings, newsletters, workshops and liaisons with academic, governmental, inter-governmental, non-profit and business institutions.

  4. Regional Chapters and Local Groups • ISEE members have set up local groups in a number of regions, and where they are large enough they can be formally recognized as ISEE regional chapters. ISEE encourages the formation of these regional groups to provide a regional network of scientists involved in environmental epidemiology and to provide a way for potential members to join ISEE. You can contact the Secretariat for guidance on how to do this. Currently ISEE has local groups and chapters in the following areas.
