Mission Statement

The New Researchers Network (NRN) aims to build up a network to communicate about ideas and issues particularly relevant to researchers in the early stages of their careers. It is open to all people starting a career in environmental epidemiology and/or exposure assessment. The annual ISEE conference is a unique opportunity to meet colleagues from around the world and to learn about current results and methodological issues. This makes it an ideal platform for new researchers to exchange information amongst themselves and form their own peer networks.

Events and Audience

At the Paris ISEE conference in 2006 the first peer networking workshop was held by NRN, followed by a workshop on career strategies at the ISEE 2007 in Mexico.

Our goal is to regularly organize events at the annual ISEE conference for people who define themselves as new researchers: students, postdocs and anyone who considers him or herself a new researcher (broadly intended as someone who finished their degree less than 10 years ago and is not heading a large research team).

Steering Committee

The steering committee currently consists of about 10 new researchers from Europe, Latin America, and the US, and we welcome opportunities to include more contacts in the spirit of cooperation/collaboration between groups working in different parts of the world.
