SCOPE: Scientific discoveries, new tools, and improved approaches have rapidly expanded the field of environmental health: study of environmental influences on human health and disease. Evaluating the utility and importance of findings derived from these new tools and newer approaches in guiding public health decisions can be a daunting challenge. New methods and approaches can be used to identify and control the environmental impacts on human health. Advances in nanotechnology, micro-engineering and fluidics, systems biology, and stem cell technology have enabled the development of testing platforms that are seeded with multiple cell types, often of human origin, including organ-on-a-chip and more three-dimensional constructs. Emerging biological platforms may provide a means of addressing the diversity, complexity, and integration of biological responses to environmental health challenges. The GIS (Geographic Information System) based environmental health management information system is a feasible solution to the management of complex data on the environment and health from different sources, programmes and sectors. It provides an excellent means for visualizing and analyzing epidemiological data, revealing trends, dependencies, inter-relationships and convergence of multi-disease surveillance activities.

This Global Summit would provide an excellent public venue for exchanging information and discussing potential implications of scientific advances, among government, industry, environmental groups, and the academic community which may be used in the identification, quantification, and control of environmental impacts on human health decision.

There will be two special symposia on Cancer Therapy and Environmental Toxicology. The symposium on Emerging Trends in Cancer Therapeutics will be jointly organized with University of North Texas Health Science Center, Fort Worth, TX, USA and the symposium on Emerging Tools in Environmental Toxicology will be co-organized by the United States Environmental Protection Agency, Research Triangle Park, NC, USA.

MEET THE EXPERT: This global summit serves as a platform to gather a number of senior scientists and experts in various branches of science and technology. Young scientists and students can utilize this opportunity by establishing personal interactions with the eminent scientists in their field. The details of the expected participants will be continuously updated in the website. Organizers will accept the requests to meet with the
expert until July 15, 2014. Depending on the time/availability, small groups will be scheduled to meet with the experts they requested.

ABSTRACT SUBMISSION Abstracts for oral and poster presentations must be no longer than 300 words (including title, authors and affiliations) and should reflect one of the themes of the conference. Abstracts should be submitted by July 1, 2014 in electronic form as an email attachment to: estieh2014@gmail.com. Hard copy is also acceptable if received by the due date.

Acceptance of the submissions for presentation will be communicated to the authors within two weeks after the submission. An official letter of invitation will be sent to foreign delegates for obtaining visa to attend the conference.

CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS Accepted full papers will be published in the proceedings of the conference. Full papers to consider for the publication in the proceedings are to be submitted by July 15, 2014.

YOUNG SCIENTIST RESEARCH AWARDS COMPETITION

Researchers below 30 years of age (proof of age required) are eligible to participate in the oral presentation competition. Candidates will be given 10 minutes for their presentation including the time for 2-3 questions from the audience and/or judges.

POSTER PRESENTATION COMPETITION

There is no age limit for the poster presentation. The poster may have multiple authors but only presenting author will be allowed at the poster for the competition.

AWARDS PRESENTATION

Winners will be announced on the final day of the conference and awards will be presented at the valedictory function. The candidate’s presence is required to receive the award. If the presenting author is not the Principal Investigator, mentor (research supervisor) will be requested to accompany him/her to receive the award.

TRAVEL SUPPORT

Travel support will be available for a few participants and young scientists from India. Preference will be given to invited speakers, and young scientists submitting full paper for publication in the conference proceedings.
