About the
project
In the EPHOR project we will lay the groundwork for evidence-based and cost-effective prevention for improving health at work, by developing a working life exposome toolbox. This exceptional consortium consists of 19 exposure, health, and data technology scientists and technology partners from 12 different countries. Together we will advance occupational health science in a unique way to reduce the burden of disease.
