CREAL will celebrate tomorrow the Retreat 2010

Last Friday 19th November the Center for Research in Environmental Epidemiology (CREAL) celebrated its annual Retreat at the Barcelona Centre of Contemporary Culture (CCCB). The aim of this date is that all researchers can know more about the more or less 50 projects which are being developed in this centre and discuss concerns and needs of each one.

In fact, CREAL research is large and diverse and includes six programs: Cancer, Air Pollution, Water Pollution, Childhood, Respiratory and Radiation. The mission of the center is promoting and developing advanced epidemiological research into the environmental factors that affect human health, in order to help prevent and control their harmful effects.

Antoni Plasència, General Director for Public Health at Ministry of Health of the Government of Catalonia and President of the Governing Council of CREAL; and, Ramon Moreno, Managing Director of Institució CERCA, and Member of the Governing Council and Executive Committee of CREAL.
