ISES: To better our world, its ecosystems, and inhabitants, by creating an international community that advances and integrates exposure science into research and action.
The International Society of Exposure Science (ISES) promotes and advances exposure science (methods, measurements, models) as it relates to the complex inter-relationships between human populations, communities, ecosystems, wildlife, and chemical, biological, and physical agents, and non-chemical stressors. ISES members have diverse expertise and training in biological, physical, environmental, and social sciences, as well as various engineering disciplines. According to the National Research Council, “exposure science links human and ecological behavior to environmental processes in such a way that the information generated can be used to mitigate or prevent future adverse exposures.” The Society’s multidisciplinary expertise and international reach make it the premiere professional society for practitioners associated with all aspects of exposure science (research, teaching, policy, communication, outreach).
Announcements
- Celebrating 30 Years of ISES – In 1989, a group of scientists and engineers at the Air and Waste Management Association conference at the Tropicana Hotel in Las Vegas founded the International Society of Exposure Analysis, or ISEA, which later became known as the International Society of Exposure Science (ISES).
- The ISES 2020 Technical Organizing Committee is seeking volunteers to help organize, plan and promote the 2020 Annual Meeting to be hosted in Oakland, CA. Volunteers with a variety of expertise and experiences are needed! It’s a great way to get involved in ISES. Learn more here.
- Cefic-LRI is now accepting grant applications to carry out research in the different areas of chemical risk assessment and toxicity. The deadline is September 1, 2019. Visit their website for more information about each opportunity.
- The Joint Meeting of Asian Chapters of ISES and ISEE will bring together scientists, researchers, practitioners and students who are dedicated to the protection of health and Environment from October 17 -19 in Daegu, Korea. The ISEE-ISES Asia Chapter 2019 theme is “Harmonizing Environmental Health Solutions for Individuals, Communities, and the Planet.” For more information, visit the website here.
