Other Workshop on advanced methods for climate-health research
18-11-2026 4:00 pm Add to iCal
This two-day workshop offers an in-depth exploration of how climate extremes and climatic factors influence population health. Participants will gain hands-on experience with epidemiological and biostatistical methods relevant to climate-health research, building strong methodological foundations to apply in their own work.
Description
