EASO is an action driven association with projects developed in order to meet our charitable objectives:

  • Raise awareness of Obesity as a major health priority in Europe
  • Develop, Promote and Deliver education for the prevention and management of overweight and obesity in Europe
  • Promote, Inform and Engage in European Obesity Research
  • Disseminate key obesity-related Messages/Evidence-based Guidelines/Developments
  • Communicate with relevant Internal and External Stakeholders and promote multidisciplinary collaboration

EASO only develops projects that meet these objectives and that are designed to have an impact on the patient, scientific and medical communities of Europe.

They are ambitious and important and are achieved through collaboration with partners that share our strategic vision and promote a multi-stakeholder approach. EASO only partners with organisations that demonstrate a clear commitment to addressing the challenge of obesity in Europe and to helping EASO achieve its charitable objectives. EASO only accepts funding for specific projects and is currently engaged in project partnerships with Danone Research; Covidien, a Medtronic Company; and Novo Nordisk. All partnerships are governed by EASO’s Partnership Guidelines.
