As you know the last weeks and days the COVID-19 situation in Belgium is getting worse and worse. After well considering the current context, we have decided to switch the hybrid day of our conference to a complete online format. We apologize for this late notice.


DIGITAL EXPOSITON

Selected organisations and researchers can present their work on the overall conference topic “Climate justice and health equity” in a digital exposition. You will be able to upload a (academic) poster, presentation, video, flyer, and/or pictures at an own “booth”.
