The European Occupational Exposome Mega Cohort Consortium (OMega-X) was established as a long-term resource to support large-scale coordinated analysis to advance knowledge regarding health impacts of complex working life exposures. Twenty-four cohorts based in eight European countries (Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Norway, Spain, Sweden, the Netherlands), as well as multi-country studies, containing more than 20 million participants, form the Consortium.
The Consortium invites collaboration requests from researchers, including those external to the Consortium, who may wish to conduct data analysis on new research questions among participating cohort studies, or from new cohorts who may wish to join the Consortium.
Please contact Michelle Turner, ISGlobal: michelle.turner@isglobal.org and Ingrid Sivesind Mehlum, STAMI: ingrid.s.mehlum@stami.no for further information.
