The Environmental Physiology and Ergonomics Research Exchange (EPERE) is a cooperative project involving six internationally-recognised laboratories from Australia, France, Japan, Slovenia, Sweden and the United Kingdom.
Environmental Physiology & Ergonomics Research Exchange
- to build upon and maintain the EPERE consortium as an international Centre of Excellence in human, environmental physiology research
- to train talented young researchers in a range of multidisciplinary skills essential to understanding integrated human physiology
- to expand research funding opportunities for each laboratory
- to share research expertise, skills and ideas
- to facilitate access to larger research teams, resources and expertise
- to strengthen the links between the basic sciences and its translation into wider societal needs
- to facilitate research exchanges among the five laboratories.
