The BC Environmental and Occupational Health Research Network helps BC researchers develop innovative teams that conduct world-class research intended to improve the health of people affected by occupational and environmental risks. To help in understanding, managing and preventing those risks, the network improves access to ideas, information and infrastructure needed to create collaborative research and to communicate with communities in such a way that research results are used to effect change. It aims to remove obstacles that arise from diversity of researcher needs, locations, expertise and topics by increasing knowledge within the environmental and occupation health research community of common resources, common questions and shared opportunities.
