The ExpoHealthNet Annual Cluster Meeting 2026 will take place on 24–25 November at the Hellenic Pasteur Institute in Athens, Greece. Bringing together participating research projects, representatives of the European Commission and HaDEA, and Advisory Board members, the two-day meeting will be hosted by the ENVESOME project and focus on strengthening collaboration and advancing joint research into the role of environmental pollution in non-communicable diseases.
The meeting will provide an opportunity to reflect on ExpoHealthNet’s achievements during its first year and define priorities for future cooperation. Discussions and interactive workshops will address key areas of the cluster’s work, including:
Science-policy dialogue: Identifying policy priorities and developing topics for joint policy briefs for 2027–2028.
Data sharing and interoperability: Advancing FAIR data practices and opportunities for cross-project analyses.
AI and computational modelling: Exploring shared tools and applications to support environmental health research.
Scientific collaboration: Identifying synergies in exposome research, multi-omics and adverse outcome pathways.
Communication and Open Science: Strengthening the visibility and accessibility of cluster research through joint dissemination activities.
The programme will also feature scientific presentations, a poster session and networking opportunities, supporting knowledge exchange and new collaborations among participating projects.
A key outcome will be the development of the ExpoHealthNet Roadmap and Action Plan, outlining shared priorities, planned activities and responsibilities for the coming year.
