About the Global Asbestos Forum

The Global Asbestos Forum (formerly known as the European Asbestos Forum) foundation strives to improve professional networks and the exchange of the state of the art knowledge on all matters related to asbestos. Across borders and sectors, available to everyone. Sharing the latest innovations, the newest science, social insights and data, the best practices, the newest campaigns. Meet the best of the best and stay on top with one event in the year!

While the Global Asbestos Forum is mainly focused on professionals, asbestos victims (organisations) are warmly welcomed, too. It is up to the professionals of today to ensure that there will be no more future asbestos victims. Because asbestos diseases are preventable. The foundation was founded in 2014 by Dr. Yvonne Waterman LL.M. FFAAM, who serves as its President, and is proud to have a Board of Advisors of globally highly regarded asbestos specialists. 

It’s motto: ‘Collaboration, acceleration, eradication’.
