FIRST CIRCULAR
Based on the overwhelming success at the previous six International Conferences on Selenium in the Environment and Human
Health held in 2009 (Suzhou,
China), 2011 (Suzhou, China), 2013 (Hefei,
China), 2015 (Sao Paulo, Brazil),
2017 (Stockholm, Sweden),
and 2019 (Xi’an,
China), the 7th International Conference on Selenium in the Environment and Human Health will take place on September 24-27, 2023 in Bangkok, Thailand. This conference will be our first post-COVID-19 conference after the cancellation of our proposed
2021 conference in Berlin, Germany. We will continuously create an interdisciplinary atmosphere that connects
researchers representing the multi- nature of selenium
(Se) throughout the world. It is our continued intent to expand our multi-faceted perspectives on Se research with the particular focus on the environment and human health.
