GECCO is a Dutch infrastructure to support researchers to study the relation between environmental characteristics and health. From this website you can get access to a wide variety of environmental data to use for your research.
We are continuously expanding and improving the list of available environmental variables, and we will use these data to enrich 25+ renowned and on-going large-scale Dutch cohorts.
This will enable many studies to examine the (longitudinal) relation between environmental exposures and individual-level behaviours and health outcomes.
GECCO is coordinated by the Amsterdam University Medical Center, location VUmc, and governed by a steering group with representatives of all the
GECCO-affiliated institutes. It formally started in November 2018 and is funded by NWO-ZonMw.
