50° Congresso Nazionale SItI

 

22-25 Novembre, Torino

siti2017

Le sfide della salute pubblica si caratterizzano ormai inevitabilmente per loro complessità, universalità e continuità. La sostenibilità dei più elevati livelli di salute possibili non può più essere attribuita ai soli incrementi della spesa sanitaria ma passa necessariamente attraverso politiche di prevenzione e di promozione del bene-essere.

Dal perseguimento di politiche che promuovano città sane, che da un lato garantiscano minime esposizioni ai più noti fattori di rischio e dall’altro possibilità logistiche e tessuti sociali idonei anche alle popolazioni più fragili, alla lettura e analisi di impatto delle tecnologie preventive a disposizione, alla gestione della salute anche sociale delle migrazioni, alla preparazione nell’affrontare le emergenze sanitarie.

Si rendono altresì necessarie maggiori attenzioni sia alla scelta degli obiettivi strategici del servizio sanitario sia alle modalità tattiche utili al raggiungimento degli stessi: modelli organizzativi efficaci sia nella prevenzione che nella cura. L’igienista può e deve svolgere un ruolo attivo nella trattazione di tutte queste tematiche, utilizzando le proprie competenze per promuovere politiche finalizzate e azioni concrete nonché per coinvolgere su obiettivi comuni e condivisi gli altri professionisti della salute.

Il 50° Congresso Nazionale della S.It.I. vuole rappresentare quindi una propulsione positiva verso la trattazione di tematiche multisettoriali.

 

2017 Annual Ramazzini Days

 

October 26-29, 2017, Carpi (MO), Italy 

The Collegium Ramazzini is an independent, international academy founded in 1982 by Irving J. Selikoff, Cesare Maltoni and other eminent scientists. It is comprised of 180 internationally renowned experts in the fields of occupational and environmental health. The mission of the Collegium Ramazzini is to advance the study of occupational and environmental health issues and to be a bridge between the world of scientific discovery and the social and political centers which must act on the discoveries of science to protect public health

One of the Collegium’s principal tools for disseminating information is the organization of conferences, symposia and workshops for its Fellows as well as for the greater scientific community. Every year on the last weekend of October, the Collegium Ramazzini hosts the Ramazzini Days in Carpi, Italy where Fellows and guests participate in workshops on scientific topics and present new data from their respective institutions.

1st HBM4EU Consortium Meeting

September 4-8, 2017 – Berlin 

HBM4EU is a joint effort of 27 countries, the European Environment Agency and the European Commission, co-funded under Horizon 2020.

The main aim of the initiative is to coordinate and advance human biomonitoring in Europe. HBM4EU will provide better evidence of the actual exposure of citizens to chemicals and the possible health effects to support policy making.

The HBM4EU initiative represents a novel collaboration between scientists and chemical risk assessors and risk managers, including several Commission services, EU agencies and national representatives. The project will build bridges between the research and policy worlds and deliver benefits to society in terms of enhanced chemical safety.

HBM4EU will run for five years, from 2017 to 2021. In developing priorities for HBM4EU under the first annual work plan, the consortium conducted a prioritisation exercise to identify those substances to be the focus of activities. Additional rounds of prioritisation will be carried out during the project lifespan to ensure that our research responds dynamically to policy needs.

16th International Symposium of Trace Elements in Men and Animals

 

16th International Symposium of Trace Elements in Men and Animals

June 26-29, 2017, Saint-Petersburg, Russia
On behalf of Russian Society for Trace Elements in Medicine (RUSTEM)

The main purpose of the 16th International Symposium on Trace Elements in Man and Animals (TEMA16) is consolidation of interaction between scientists and experts in the field of trace element research. A wide diversity of topics from methodological aspects of trace element analysis in living species and samples to practical use of trace elements in agriculture and medicine will attract a broad audience of specialists. Relevant reports of research on the role of trace elements in human and animal biology will be presented within the bounds of the Symposium. A special emphasis will be devoted to the problem of trace element transfer in food chains.

Generally, the goals of TEMA16 are:

  1. Maintenance of progress in the field of trace element research;
  2. Scientific experience exchange between researchers working on different aspects of trace element research;
  3. Providing an appropriate base for knowledge transfer from theoretical trace element research to practice.
