Aims and scope of the conference
The overall objective of the 17th EAA Conference is
to contribute to the worldwide debate about human health as a global
concern [United Nations, 1995]. The attention will focus on ongoing
changes in social and cultural life conditions in different regions
of the world and different periods of human history, and their implications
for human health and welfare.
Within the frame of the overall aim, main objectives of this meeting
are (i) to bring together scholars representing a range of disciplines,
experts, students, practitioners, community activists to share research
results, strategies and experience in order to provide a better understanding
of health related problems of human beings in present and past times;
(ii) to create a discussion forum on enhancement to the public awareness
of health resources issues and challenges.
An extensive Social Programme will complement the scientific contents,
ensuring an informative and entertaining conference for all participants.
