As
the first summer school in epidemiology established in Europe the Florence
course has been attended since 1988 by over two thousand students.
The EEPE is sponsored by the International
Epidemiological Association, the WHO Centre for Environment and Health
and the Italian Association of Epidemiology.
Epidemiologists, public health professionals, statisticians as well
as clinicians with an interest in epidemiology have appreciated the
opportunity of combining an intensive learning of epidemiological subjects
with the unique attraction for cultural and artistic enjoyment offered
by Florence and Tuscany.
This year one course of more advanced level, on "Social Inequalities
in Health in Europe", is run in the week preceding the start -
June 21 - of the three week main course.
We gratefully acknowledge the continuous support and collaboration over
the years of the Health Authorities and the Regional Health Agency of
the Tuscany Region and the financial support by the Compagnia di San
Paolo, Turin.
Particular thanks to the Health Authorities and the Regional Health
Agency in the Tuscany Region for their continuous support and collaboration.
We
are looking forward to welcome the participants to the 2010
EEPE courses.
