The XV International Conference on Environmental Ergonomics (ICEE 2013)

The first post of this blog is about a conference which could be highly interesting for all those exercise physiologists whose interests focus on the impact of the environmental stressors on human and sport performance.

The XV International Conference on Environmental Ergonomics (ICEE 2013) will take place in Queenstown, New Zealand next February (11-15^th).

The ICEE series started in 1984, and continues as a biennial meeting of Environmental Physiology and Ergonomics researchers and some research-oriented practitioners. These are small (100-250 people), single session, multi-disciplinary meetings, which support student participation and foster camaraderie and collaboration among scientists across the planet. Keynote and Original Research Oral and Poster Communications focus on:

·        New research findings on humans’ acute and chronic exposure to environmental stressors; from high altitude to diving, the tropics to the poles, extreme gravitational loading to space and bed rest

·        Implications of and for sporting, recreational and occupational pursuits

·        Implications of and for protective clothing, modelling, novel methodologies, design and teaching

Special symposia in 2013:

·        Climatic Instability: Adaptation and/or avoidance

·        Ultra-endurance and Tracking

·        Hydration

·        Novel stress conditioning in performance and disease

Key dates:

·        1^st October 2012

Opening of submission of abstracts & papers

·        2^nd November 2012

Deadline for submission of abstracts & papers
