The next conference of the Canadian Association for Research on Work and Health (CARWH) will be held in Toronto on May 28-29, 2010, hosted by the Institute for Work & Health. The theme for the conference is, “Worker Health in a Changing World of Work.”
The purpose of the conference is to share cutting-edge research in the area of work and health. Researchers and stakeholders from a wide variety of disciplines will discuss research findings and exchange ideas about research in this field and its application to policy and practice to improve the health and safety of Canadian workers. A student symposium will take place one day before the conference on May 27.
This conference provides an opportunity to present research results and innovative research methods, explore the applications of research, identify and clarify needs, foster collaborations and new research projects, and inform occupational health and safety policies and practices that will result in the improved health and safety of Canadian workers.

We encourage symposium or workshop proposals that will address an occupational health theme in greater depth, through presentations by several speakers and discussion, and/or small group interaction among participants.
