International Summer School ‘Environment and Planetary Health’ (24-26 June 2026, Les Demeures de Varennes)

We just completed the 4th Edition of our School, organized by the International Relations of IMRB (Joana ESTEVES DE LIMA and Roberta FORESTI), the Metatox Team of Université Paris Cité (Xavier COUMOUL), the Inserm Institute of Public Health (Booster Programmes on Climate Change and Exposome, Léa BRETON and Robert BAROUKI).

We spent three fantastic days and learnt so much new important information about the effect of climate change on health and disease, exposome, vulnerable people and the role of agencies in the fight against these challenging environmental issues.

More than 40 young participants joined us from all over the world, making this one of our most successful event.

We sincerely thank all of the students and speakers, and the many people that helped us behind the screen to make this a great event. In particular:

Marianne GERVAIS-TAUREL PharmD, PhD, team RELAIX and Roberto MOTTERLINI, for supporting the poster sessions and the workshop on Research Projects with the students; Françoise BOTTEREL-CHARTIER, Associate Dean of the Créteil School of Health Sciences, for addressing the participants on the first evening with a very thoughtful and inspiring welcome message; Baptiste PIGNON, team JAMAIN, Ilke SEN, team DERUMEAUX, and Adèle BRESSY LEESU Laboratory, for giving talks on behalf of IMRB and UPEC, Regis MOILLERON Director of OSU Efluve, and his enthusiastic team, for organizing a visit to the PRAMMICS Platform at OSU-Efluve.

Our sponsors for their continuing support: the Faculty of Health at UPEC, UPEC Central administration, University Paris Cité, IReSP and the Inserm Institute for Public Health.

We also want to thank the administration of IMRB (Christine BOVE, Sophia BALUSTRE, Tania SOUSA, Franck MAILLOCHON, Franck BERNARD, Frédéric BAILLEUL) and Inserm (Catherine DIAS) for their support.
