Eastern Mediterranean Chapter

The Health & Environment Exchange (HEX) is a new student-driven initiative launched by the International Society for Environmental Epidemiology (ISEE)’s Eastern Mediterranean Chapter. Through an alternating series of workshops and journal club meetings, HEX aims to strengthen research literacy, critical appraisal skills, and scientific communication among students and early-career researchers. HEX creates a collaborative, student-centered space for learning how to read, interpret, and critique environmental epidemiology research, with a focus on the unique environmental health challenges of the Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR).

ISEE

HEX’s specific objectives are to:

• Enhance students’ ability to read, interpret, and critically appraise environmental epidemiology research, with emphasis on EMR-relevant topics
• Build practical methodological skills that introduce students to emerging analytical approaches and techniques in environmental epidemiology
• Strengthen research communication skills, including policy translation, data visualization, and presentation of scientific critiques
• Create a regional community of learners which regularly meets to exchange ideas, discuss evidence, and collaborate across countries and institutions

Target Audience

HEX is designed primarily for, but not restricted to:

• Undergraduate and graduate students (Master's, MPH, and doctoral candidates) in environmental epidemiology, environmental health, public health, and related disciplines, based in EMR institutions.
• Early-career researchers and postdoctoral fellows within five years of their terminal degree.
• Medical and public health residents with research interests in environmental determinants of health.
• Regional faculty mentors and researchers, who are encouraged to attend and contribute as discussants and speakers.
