Appel à contribution - Health and spaceSamedi 31 mars 2012  |  Marseille (13003)The colloquium is organized by the UMR 6012 ESPACE, a research team from the Department of Geography of the Aix-Marseille University. After the success of the first edition, our ambition is to provide every two years the opportunity for doctorants, postdoctorants, researchers and public health professionals to present their original research dealing with the spatial aspects of health and health care issues. Special attention is given to quantitative approaches in this field, either related to observational or theoretical studies.ANNONCEThe colloquium is focusing on the changes that both health geography and spatial epidemiology are experiencing. The specificity of these fields is to integrate knowledge about how the physical and social environment and spatial interactions can determine health and health care issues. Spatial modelling, enriched by new sources of geographical information, tend to become a major tool to understand the complexity of these issues. Conceptually, three main stages can be outlined.Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:Theme 1: from fieldwork to dataSpatial samplingHealth monitoring systemsRemote sensing for environmental monitoringTheme 2: observational studies and spatial analysisLandscape epidemiologyHealth risk mappingSpace-time clusteringSpatial statisticsMultilevel statistical modellingTheme 3: dynamic modelling and simulationHealth services simulationEpidemic equation-based modellingEpidemic individual-based/network-based modellingImportant Dates:Deadline for abstract proposal:  March the 31st, 2012Acceptance Notification:  May the 1st, 2012Colloquium registration: May the 31st, 2012Payment (last deadline): July the 10th, 2012Scientific Committee:Prof. Matthew BAYLIS, Veterinary Epidemiologist, University of LiverpoolProf. Pierre CHAUVIN, Social Epidemiologist, INSERM UMR S 707 / Pierre and Marie Curie UniversityDr. Etienne CASSAGNE, Geographer / Bioclimatologist, University of BourgogneDr. Hélène CHARREIRE, Geographer, Paris Est Créteil Val-de-Marne UniversityDr. Eric DAUDE, Geographer, CNRS / University of RouenDr. Sébastien Fleuret, Geographer, CNRS / University of AngersDr. Sandra PEREZ, Geographer, University of Nice Sophia AntipolisDr. Hugo PILKINGTON, Geographer, University of Vincennes in Saint-Denis / INSERM U953Prof. Denise PUMAIN, Geographer, University of Paris 1 Pantheon-SorbonneDr. Stéphane RICAN, Geographer, Paris West University Nanterre La DéfenseDr. Benjamin ROCHE, Biomathematician, IRD / Pierre and Marie Curie UniversityProf. Gérard SALEM, Geographer, Paris West University Nanterre La Défense / IRDProf. Alain SANDOZ, Geographer, Tour du Valat / Aix-Marseille UniversityProf. Marc SOURIS, Computer scientist, IRD / Asian Institute of TechnologyDr Florian TOLLE, Geographer, University of Franche-ComtéDr Julie VALLEE, Geographer, CNRS / University of Paris 1 Pantheon-SorbonneLocal Organizing Committee: UMR 6012 ESPACEDr. Frédéric AUDARD, Aix-Marseille UniversityMarion BORDERON, Aix-Marseille UniversityDr. Vincent LAPERRIERE, Aix-Marseille UniversityDr. Sébastien OLIVEAU, Aix-Marseille UniversityDr. Sandra PEREZ, University of Nice Sophia AntipolisSubmission Procedure:Abstract must be sent in English.It should contain a title, name of the author(s), their institution(s) and an abstract of about 2500 characters.A specific abstract format is downloadable on the website : http://gsite.univ-provence.fr/gsite/Local/healthandspace/dir/user-3630/Text/TemplateH&#38;S_abstract.docContactMarion Borderoncourriel : marion [point] borderon (at) univ-provence [point] frAix-Marseille Université29 avenue R.
