The International Commission on Occupational Health (ICOH) was founded in 1906 and today has 2000 members from 93 different countries. ICOH has 37 scientific committees of which the Scientific Committee on Epidemiology in Occupational Health (EPICOH) promotes communication between epidemiologists, industrial hygienists, toxicologists, exposure analysts and other occupational health scientists worldwide. The theme for EPICOH ’s 2017 International Conference on Epidemiology in Occupational Health in Edinburgh, Scotland, in August 2017, was ‘eliminating occupational disease: translating research into action’ and in their editorial in this issue Paul Grime and Damien McElvenny examine some of the highlights of the co nference and their implications for policy and practice [1]. The triennial ICOH conference has just been held in Dublin in May and the 2021 conference will be held in Melbourne, Australia, a major event in the occupational health calendar for anyone interested in current research.
