We are writing to all the birth cohorts in Europethat we know have an interest in environment and health to ask them to participate in this coordinating action (list attached). We have already contacted quite a number of them and leaders in various projects such as GA2LEN, ESCAPE, HIWATE and they have agreed to participate. We would like you to read the text below and let us know if you are interested in taking part in this proposal. We need an answer very soon since the deadline for submission is 25 February. Besides extracting currently available information, we also hope to generate new information (but are limited to what can be done within a coordinating action and available funding) and we have proposed a number of ideas, but other ideas are welcome. Please indicate if you are interested in any asap (and correct any incorrect information), and whether you are willing to take the lead of any of the ideas/WPs.
