Special Interest Group: Epidemiological Methods and Results for Small Island States
Time: 07:30 - 08:30
Location: Mars
The Epidemiological Methods and Results for Small Island States ISEE Special Interest Group (SIG) recognizes that small island states are among the most severely affected by the detrimental impacts of environmental change. Health, among other sectors, bears a high burden of adverse environmental impacts, which remain subtle and unrecognized in many cases. The Epidemiological Methods and Results for Small Island States group will facilitate the exchange of knowledge and experiences, identify capacity-building resources, support learning and development, and establish a think tank to promote the application of context-appropriate research and transformation to health action in small island states.

Special Interest Group: Pesticides and Health
Time: 07:30 - 08:30
Location: Taurus 1
The Pesticides and Health ISEE Special Interest Group (SIG) is a global scientific community focused on advancing our understanding of how pesticide exposures impact human health, offering a scientific platform to exchange knowledge on the design, testing and development of effective pesticide control options and related interventions for workers and the general population, including vulnerable subpopulation groups, creating a forum for pesticide related policy changes.
