About the
project
In the EPHOR project we developed 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 20 exposure, health, and data technology scientists and technology partners from 12 different countries. Together we advanced occupational health science in a unique way to reduce the burden of disease.
