About the SNRN
What is the Student and New Researchers Network (SNRN) of ISEE?
The SNRN is open to all students, postdoctoral trainees, and new researchers (who have fewer than 5 years of experience from their terminal degree) in the field of environmental epidemiology or other related disciplines. SNRN members come from all over the world with the goal of creating a global network of students and new researchers. For more information about the SNRN and our goals, please visit our Website, Twitter, and LinkedIn pages or contact us via email at isee.snrn@gmail.com.

1. Capacity building. Members are eligible to participate in ISEE chapters and committees and compete for conference poster awards. There are opportunities to collaborate with environmental epidemiologists from all over the world on projects, workshops, and research papers and contribute to conference planning, policy setting, membership initiatives, and more! Members get free access to all ISEE technical methods focused and soft skill webinars, whereas non-members often need to pay a fee.
2. Community building. Members get to attend multiple SNRN-sponsored panel sessions, committee meetings, and a fun social event at the yearly conference that fosters networking between students and new researchers.
3. Conference participation and publication support. Members are eligible to be included as conference session co-chairs and Ethics co-discussants. Members also have access to the Peer Editing Program (PEP) that provides manuscript editing assistance to researchers affiliated with institutions residing in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) and those from underrepresented racial minority groups. More recently, members have the exclusive opportunity to have their article publication fees covered by ISEE.
4. Cost reduction and financial benefits. Members are eligible to receive waivers or discounts on conference registrations based on their ISEE involvement. Members are also eligible to apply for travel awards, access publishing discounts or waivers in Environmental Epidemiology, and receive a 20% discount on books published by Wolters Kluwer when ordering online.

Once on the island, we will have the opportunity to indulge in the delicious local cuisine available from the rustic traditional eateries and abundant snack shops on Old Street. From there we will make a move to the laid back Sunset bar to enjoy some snacks and drinks. Don't miss out on this exciting chance to explore Kaohsiung, experience the local culture, and enjoy the company of your peers in a relaxed and inviting ambiance.
