The 6^th Comprehensive Health Research Center (CHRC) Annual Summit will be held at the University of Évora on 22-23 September 2025. The CHRC is a multidisciplinary, multi-institutional, and inclusive research unit, with a clear mission: to develop biomedical, clinical, public health, and health services research and innovation that effectively responds to the needs of society. This Summit ↗ gathers the scientific community to present its recent research, share updates on its new organizational structure, and outline strategic research lines guiding the next cycle of its activity. It will bring together researchers, academic staff, and stakeholders interested in health, environmental, and policy-relevant research in Portugal and beyond. 

Ana Tavares ↗ from the Portuguese National Institute of Health Dr. Ricardo Jorge (INSA, Portugal) ↗, will present a communication titled “Assessing exposure and early biological effects in waste management workers using a harmonized occupational biomonitoring study”. 

It is an excellent opportunity to engage with ongoing research, exchange ideas, and contribute to the strategic direction of CHRC’s next phase.
