As the Presidency of the European Union shifts to a different Member State every six months, we are regularly presented with new opportunities to connect the dots between EU and national level. Moderated by our policy lead, Jacqueline Bowman-Busato and EASO Executive Director, Euan Woodward, this session will focus on how we can leverage EU presidencies or other supranational happenings from both a national and regional level to ensure obesity is prioritised and categorised and implemented at national level as a chronic relapsing disease.
Hear from a range of key European health and policy experts with experience working within the context of EU presidencies to understand how we can make the most of the upcoming presidencies which will be held by France followed by the Czech Republic and Sweden.
Joining the conversation:
- Prof. Dr. Volkan Demirhan Yumuk, President Elect, EASO
- MEP Pernille Weiss, Chair of the MEP Interest Group on Obesity and Resilient Health Systems
- Ms Anne Sophie Joly, President CNAO (French Association for People Living with Obesity)
