Still a few seats left for our summit on Chemical Pollution!
In less than a month, this year's summit on how we can reduce the impact of chemical pollution on our health will take place at Uppsala Castle!
Our programme committee and workshop coordinators are working hard to prepare and plan for fruitful
discussions. Read about the different workshops through this link.

Our plenary program will discuss the challenge of addressing chemical pollution and its consequences on global health while emphasizing the complexity and urgency of finding solutions through a One Health perspective; take stock of the progress of the Green Deal and its prospects; and discuss the "triple crisis," the intertwining of climate change, environmental pollution, and biodiversity loss.

Why are metabolic diseases increasing? An interview with Dr Carlos Guerrero Bosagna
Why are metabolic diseases increasing? One factor is the endocrine-disrupting chemicals called Obesogens, which are silently infiltrating our lives through bioaccumulation in our foods and omnipresence in our packaging.
We interview Dr Carlos Guerrero Bosagna, who is an Associate Professor at the Department of Organismal Biology, Physiology, and Environmental Toxicology at Uppsala University. Dr Guerrero Bosagna is organizing a workshop during the upcoming summit called “Metabolic Diseases: from Chemical Exposure to Interventions”, and he offers insights to bridge the gap between genetics, nutrition, and physical activity in the fight against metabolic diseases.
Uppsala Health Summit is hosted by Uppsala University in collaboration with the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences; the Swedish Medical Products Agency; Region Uppsala; the National Veterinary Institute; the City of Uppsala; and Örebro University.
