Abstracts of the Joint Annual Meeting of the International Society of Exposure Science and the International Society for Environmental Epidemiology 2025

conference, themed "Global Environmental Health Equity across the Lifespan," convened experts in exposure science, environmental epidemiology, and laboratory science, and offered a critical platform for sharing innovations and advancing interdisciplinary collaboration.The conference attracted more than 1800 attendees from 68 countries, showcasing a strong international presence.Attendees were from North America (65%), Asia & Western Pacific (20%), Europe (7%), Latin America & Caribbean (4%), Africa (3%), and the Eastern Mediterranean (1%).Conference attendees included 225 ISES members, 738 ISEE members, and 91 participants who identified as members of both societies.Among the participants, 529 registered as students and 460 as early-career professionals, reflecting a significant engagement from the next generation of researchers.Seven pre-meeting workshops provided training for attendees in important topics which covered a range of advanced methodologies and practical applications in environmental epidemiology, including Bayesian spatiotemporal modeling for environmental data and highresolution mass spectrometry workflows to analyze the exposome.The emphasis on hands-on learning and interdisciplinary collaboration helped participants develop new skills and foster cross-sector partnerships for addressing complex environmental health issues.A dynamic series of six plenary presentations underscored the global and interdisciplinary nature of environmental health research.Two of the talks highlighted both scientific advancements and persistent translational gaps in addressing air pollution's health burden across world regions.These discussions underscored the complexities of air pollution epidemiology, emphasizing the need for innovative solutions to overcome existing challenges.Another plenary lecture explored the potential and current limitations of integrating advanced analytics including artificial intelligence into environmental epidemiology.Meanwhile, two other plenaries underscored public engagement approaches to research, policy, and communication to many types of audiences on environmental science and health issues.A forwardlooking plenary introduced novel biomonitoring methods using extracellular vesicles to showcase the emerging frontier of molecular epidemiology.
