The TPH Link is excited to partner with SOM to present the International Conference on Transport & Health 2017 - Barcelona, hosted by ISGlobal
ICTH is designed to bridge the gap between scientific investigation and real-world application. This avant-garde experience is guaranteed to make you feel just a little uncomfortable, a little bit curious and possibly change your perspective. Why not take a chance and join us?

ICTH is a direct participatory experience. Policy-makers, practitioners and academics from multiple disciplines and professional sectors involved in transport planning and engineering, public health, urban planning, spatial and architectural design, environmental planning, economics and beyond will convene at the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal) Campus Mar located in Barcelona, Spain, 27-29 June 2017, to share their stories of success and failure; build world-wide collaborative friendships; but most importantly, leave inspired! The theme for ICTH 2017-Barcelona is “Changing Perspectives: Health Impacts of Urban & Transport Related Exposures.”
The afternoon of Monday, 26 June 2017, has been set aside as an unconference including the first General Meeting of the Professional Association for Transport & Health (PATH) and an organizational meeting for a proposed book to be published through Cambridge Scholars. During the week of 24 June to 2 July, tickets will be available FREE of charge to ICTH delegates to experience a 'Walk with Gaudi' at the Gaudi Exhibition Center located next to Cathedral Barcelona. ICTH is the only conference in a world-wide market fully dedicated to transport systems and health impacts. Interactive Hot Topic Workshops and abstract presentations (oral, pecha kucha and poster) will be led by cross-disciplinary teams to demonstrate “how” non-traditional and innovative thinking can lead to creative problem solving. Expect the unexpected…Join us!
The ICTH 2017-Barcelona Programme Committee is dedicated to ensuring that you receive the greatest return on investment; financial, time and human interaction. This is not an event in which you can passively co-exist or participate virtually. It is meant to keep you engaged emotionally, intellectually and physically.
Here are a few reasons why you should attend ICTH 2017 - Barcelona:

Transportation Public Health Link
The Transportation Public Health Link (TPH Link) is a global company based on a systematic problem solving approach that accounts for the synergy between the social (health), political, economic and environmental elements of sustainability. The TPH Link promotes and supports the inclusion of a cross-disciplinary team of professionals in the design, planning and development of proposed and rehabilitated transportation infrastructure projects. In this way, appropriate quantitative and qualitative research, performance metrics, and strategic management methodologies can be implemented to effectively evaluate the health impact of a proposed transportation project that places people first in the decision-making process. Please take a few minutes to investigate this website for valuable resources. If you are looking for something in particular and cannot find it, please email Karyn at kwarsow@tphlink.com.

Barcelona Institute for Global Health
The Barcelona Institute for Global Health, ISGlobal, is the fruit of an innovative alliance between academic, government, and philanthropic institutions to contribute to the efforts undertaken by the international community to address the challenges in global health.
ISGlobal is a consolidated hub of excellence in research that has grown out of work first started in the world of health care by the Hospital Clínic and the Parc de Salut MAR and in the academic sphere by the University of Barcelona and Pompeu Fabra University. The pivotal mechanism of its work model is the transfer of knowledge generated by scientific research to practice, a task undertaken by the institute’s Training and Policy and Global Development departments. Its ultimate goal is to help close the gaps in health disparities between and within different regions of the world.
On June 30, 2016, the Centre for Research in Environmental Epidemiology (CREAL), a ten year-old institution of excellence in advanced epidemiological research on environmental factors that affect human health, completed its integration into ISGlobal. The merger of both centres into a larger ISGlobal with increased capacities is the result of a strategic alliance that started in 2013. As a result, the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal) has successfully consolidated a cutting-edge cluster of research expertise with capacity to address health challenges, including infectious diseases and non-communicable chronic diseases, with a strong focus on their environmental determinants. Please take a few minutes look at our latest paper on health impacts of urban and transport related exposures HERE and possible solutions such as car free living HERE More information can be found in the ISGlobal Alliance page.
