UTCI - assessment measure in human bioclimatology - 10 years of application and 1st European Biometeorologist Regional Meeting
This 3-day conference includes 3 events
- 22-23 May 2019 - International Conference UTCI - assessment measure in human bioclimatology – 10 years of application
- 24 May 2019 1st European Biometeorologist Regional Meeting
- 22 May 2019 (16:30-19:00) I meeting of Polish bioclimatologists (In Polish ONLY)
On 25 of May 2019 the excursion to Kazimierz Dolny and Nałęczów is planned.
In 1999 at the ISB Congress in Sydney the Commission for developing the Universal Thermal Climate Index UTCI was established. In 2009 special COST Action 730 „Towards a universal thermal climate index UTCI for assessing the thermal environment of the human being” has successfully completed the work proposing UTCI as a new tool in biometeorological and bioclimatic research. The last 10 years has brought widespread use of UTCI in many researches and practical applications in fields related to the thermal environment of people. Thus the conference aims to discuss current achievements in human bioclimatology based on UTCI and other indices.
During 1st European Biometeorologists Regional Meeting the progress in all branches of biometeorological research (human, animal, plant) would be discussed regionally as the background to create international European research network focused on specific problems.
