Who should attend

Time-series regression analysis is a key tool in public health for investigating the short-term health effects of environmental risk factors. The course offers an introduction to the ecological time-series design and the statistical modelling process for the most common environmental exposures (e.g. temperature, air pollution, dust, haze) in Asian countries.

Faculty

The faculty includes professors and researchers from Japanese universities with an extensive experience in environmental epidemiology.

The course is addressed to postgraduate students, early career researchers, and personnel from universities as well as researchers and practitioners that work in public and private institutions from any research field and nationality. Places are allocated on a first-come, first-serve basis. The course will be taught in English.

Venue

The course will be held on The University of Tokyo main campus. It is located next to Ueno park with good accesses to three subway stations, and nearby to many museums, hotels, and restaurants.

Sponsorship

The summer school is partly supported by the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) as part of SICORP (Grant Number JPMJSC20E4) and the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) through Co-creating Climate Services for Care Economy and Caring Society (CoCareSociety).
