ECOG brings together experts from a diversity of disciplines, ranging from paediatricians, psychologists, nutritionists, geneticists, physical activity experts, economists, and more – all united by an unwavering commitment to the study and prevention of childhood obesity. 

There is a strong relationship and bond between BSE and ECOG, as we help in the organisation of the yearly European Childhood Obesity Group Congress since 2010. The 34th ECOG Congress will be organised in teh city of Uppsla, Sweden from November 26 until November 28.

The 2024 Congress on Childhood Obesity was a truly global event, bringing together over 250 participants from 28 different countries, not only from Europe but from across the world. This highlighted the international significance of addressing childhood obesity. The congress featured 40 distinguished speakers who shared their expertise on the latest research, clinical practices, and strategies to combat this growing health issue. A total of 66 abstracts were presented as posters, providing researchers with a valuable platform to showcase their findings.

The diverse audience included doctors, professors, PhD students, researchers, public health experts, and policy officers, fostering rich discussions and collaboration. A major highlight of the event was the first-ever Policy Roundtable, where leading experts explored key challenges and opportunities in developing effective policies to address childhood obesity.

The success of the 2024 congress underscored the importance of continued global efforts to tackle this urgent public health concern.
