EXPOSUM Institute Annual Day

As the academic year begins, the ExposUM Institute is entering a pivotal year: it is about to reach the symbolic halfway point. This key moment will be an opportunity to reaffirm its ambition to advance research, training, and science-society dialogue on the major challenges of the exposome.

This annual meeting, open to the entire community concerned with health and environmental issues, will review the progress already made, highlight ongoing projects, and share perspectives for the future.
