Pre-conference training workshops

  1. Children’s Environmental Health
    In general, children receive a higher “dose” of toxicants in a given environment, are less able to neutralize toxicants and live long enough for diseases with long latency periods to manifest. This workshop will cover the principles underlying the vulnerability of children and will highlight risks in specific environments. This workshop is part of a series organised by staff from the Network of WHO Collaborating Centres for Children's Environmental Health at previous PBC conferences. This workshop provides an opportunity for engagement of a wider audience and additional training with evaluation materials made available to trainees.
  2. Integrated Environmental Health Impact and Risk Assessment
    To enhance understanding of impact assessment and management based on multiple environmental exposures, it is necessary to understand the integrative impact assessment process. This workshop will discuss how environmental exposures are best assessed within an Integrated Environmental Health Impact Assessment process using “real-world” data from the Pacific Islands. This workshop is part of a series organised by staff from the Network of WHO Collaborating Centres for Children's Environmental Health at previous PBC conferences. This workshop provides an opportunity for engagement of a wider audience and additional training with evaluation materials made available to trainees.
  3. Intellectual Property Rights Management through Patents
    IPR stands for Intellectual Property Rights which include patents, copyright, trademarks, etc. This workshop will deal mainly with patent. Patents is a subject area which is important for scientists and technologists and this is an area in which lawyers can do little without having a scientific background and/or collaborating with scientists of relevant fields to provide information on the technical aspects of a patent application. Most technology-based businesses compete with their rivals based on the patents they hold. Scientists working in applied research fields need an understanding of patents and how to search for them to understand what has already been patented in their field of interest. This workshop will provide attendees with the basic skills required for performing patent searches and will provide hand-on experience.
