In 1993 the founders of FOHNEU recognized the importance of working with European colleagues to promote a safe and healthy work environment around Europe. The 1st FOHNEU Congress was launched in 1997 in Brussels, Belgium with the aim to highlight the work and research of Occupational Health Nurses and promote dissemination of the most recent research results within occupational health. Over the 25 past years FOHNEU has put great effort into, and been very successful at improving international cooperation between occupational health professionals.
Every three years, the FOHNEU Congress brings together clinicians and scientists from all parts of the world in the fields of occupational and environmental health.
