Since health risks and environmental issues are cross-border by nature, international collaboration will be required if health and environmental threats are to be effectively reduced and issues dealt with. The National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) collaborates in international projects related to public health and the environment by sharing its expertise and research findings.
RIVM experts and researchers engage in collaborative research projects, and participate in advisory and expert panels. Of course an important part of the international collaboration takes place in the European context, but RIVM also has close ties with specialised agencies of the UN, such as WHO, FAO, UNEP and IAEA. Such centres as the European Reference Lab and the WHO Collaborative Center are housed at the RIVM, and bilateral cooperation takes place with relevant institutions in the USA and Canada.
