Title
Centre for Environment and Health (Research)
Abstract
This 5 year proposal (2016-2020) aims to establish the Flemish Center of Expertise of Environment and Health of the fourth cycle which will be a scientific knowledge pool for environmental health in Flanders. The gained knowledge aims to improve environmental health and wellbeing by quantifying the effects of environmental determinants on public health with special emphasis on vulnerable populations. The center will build on the strengths and experience gained in the first three cycles of the Flemish Center of Expertise on Environment and Health 2001-2006, 2007-2011, 2012-2015 and will address new upcoming challenges.
