Cordero1 ✉, Antonia M. Calafat2, Gwen W. Collman3, Yang Liu4 and Maria C. Mirabelli2 © The Author(s) 2025 Journal of Exposure Science & Environmental Epidemiology; [https://doi.org/10.1038/s41370-025-00801-2](https://doi.org/10.1038/s41370-025-00801-2) The Joint Annual Meeting of the International Society of Exposure Science (ISES) and the International Society for Environmental Epidemiology (ISEE) took place in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, from August 17 to 20, 2025 . The ISES/ISEE 2025 conference, themed“Global Environmental Health Equity across the Lifespan,”convened experts in exposure science, environmental epidemiology, and laboratory science, and offered a critical platform for sharing innovations and advancing interdisciplinary collaboration. The conference attracted more than 1800 attendees from 68 countries, showcasing a strong international presence. Attendees were from North America (65%), Asia & Western Paciﬁc (20%), Europe (7%), Latin America & Caribbean (4%), Africa (3%), and the Eastern Mediterranean (1%). Conference attendees included 225 ISES members, 738 ISEE members, and 91 participants who identiﬁed as members of both societies. Among the participants, 529 registered as students and 460 as early-career professionals, reﬂecting a signiﬁcant engagement from the next generation of researchers. Seven pre-meeting workshops provided training for attendees in important topics which covered a range of advanced methodologies and practical applications in environmental epidemiology, including Bayesian spatiotemporal modeling for environmental data and highresolution mass spectrometry workﬂows to analyze the exposome. The emphasis on hands-on learning and interdisciplinary collaboration helped participants develop new skills and foster cross-sector partnerships for addressing complex environmental health issues. A dynamic series of six plenary presentations underscored the global and interdisciplinary nature of environmental health research. Two of the talks highlighted both scientiﬁc advancements and persistent translational gaps in addressing air pollution’s health burden across world regions. These discussions underscored the complexities of air pollution epidemiology, emphasizing the need for innovative solutions to overcome existing challenges. Another plenary lecture explored the potential and current limitations of integrating advanced analytics including artiﬁcial intelligence into environmental epidemiology. Meanwhile, two other plenaries underscored public engagement approaches to research, policy, and communication to many types of audiences on environmental science and health issues. A forwardlooking plenary introduced novel biomonitoring methods using extracellular vesicles to showcase the emerging frontier of molecular epidemiology. The scientiﬁc program featured 492 oral presentations distributed in 36 symposia, 42 traditional oral sessions, and 24 ﬂash talk sessions, 1,614 poster displays presented at 6 poster viewing sessions, and over 100 late-breaking e-posters. Scientiﬁc sessions addressed the latest in air pollution research, including methods for assessing personal exposure and implications for public health interventions. Sessions on the exposome and biomarkers of exposure to chemical pollutants provided updated methodologies for detection and risk assessment. Sessions presented new data on speciﬁc topics such as per-and polyﬂuoroalkyl substances (PFAS), noise pollution, and community exposures focused on populationspeciﬁc vulnerabilities and community-level impacts of a variety of co-occurring environmental exposures. The comprehensive scientiﬁc program provided a plat
