The Year In Epidemiology - 2018 Our 2018 calendar of key events in epidemiology contains 175 listings to help you stay in touch and up to date on the latest developments in the field. The calendar items represent an almost 50% increase compared to the number of listings published last year in our 2017 calendar. The largest number of listings are for conferences and short courses which together make up 84% of the listings. We identified 14 summer programs and a smaller number of winter programs. This year’s calendar is truly international with listings from multiple countries on different continents. 2018 will introduce at least two first-time conferences on timely topics. Some of the more notable events scheduled for 2018 are: ► A Participatory Epidemiology Network Conference in Thailand in January ► A Hackathon in Argentina in February ► A short course on Analyzing Risk at Harvard in March ► A conference on Epidemiological Birth Cohort Studies in Finland in June ►
The 1st International Meeting on Teaching Epidemiology in Switzerland in June
► A summer program on Social Determinants of Health in London in July ►
The 1st International Symposium on Life Course Epidemiology in The Netherlands in July
