Grounding health impact assessment on open science: A practical guide for sharing and exploiting exposure-response functions using R

This repo contains the material for the workshop presented at the ISEE in Munich on 30th august 2026.

Lecture slides

Lecture slides are in workshop-openERF.html.

The lecture slides have been generated with quarto on a revealjs format. If you are curious about the quarto code used to generate the slides, it is in workshop-openERF.qmd.

Examples

Both example R scripts are found in the code sub-folder. Necessary data are stored in the data sub-folder.

1. 01_ERFexport.R illustrates how to efficiently export the results of an epidemiological analysis for use in future health impact assessments.

2. 02_HIA.R illustrates a simple health impact assessment using existing temperature-related mortality exposure-response functions for European cities (freely available in Zenodo).
