ISEE Latin America and the Caribbean Chapter
The Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) Chapter was established in 1991 by a group of LAC researchers and ISEE members. Its mission is to promote and strengthen scientific research in environmental epidemiology in LAC countries. Its aims are to:
- Consolidate a collaborative network of LAC members of ISEE
- Identify common environmental health problems in the region
- Promote research, academic exchange, and training in environmental epidemiology in the region
- Interact with local, federal, regional, and international organizations and agencies in order to translate research findings into timely and effective policy.
Members of the ISEE LAC Chapter will be classified in the following categories:
- Regular member: all ISEE members born or residing in LAC, as defined above, are automatically members of the Chapter, unless they opt out.
- Associate member: all ISEE members who were not born or who do not reside in LAC but conduct environmental epidemiology research in LAC are eligible to join the Chapter subject to completing a membership application process and its approval by the Chapter Executive Council.
