EASO is a membership association. Our National Association members, and the individual members thereof, enjoy extensive EASO member benefits.
Direct individual EASO membership is not available and a candidate would need to join one of the National Associations affiliated to EASO listed below by region.
Established in 1986, EASO is a federation of professional membership associations from 36 European countries. It is the voice of the European obesity community, representing scientists, health care practitioners, physicians, public health experts, early career researchers, students and patients. EASO is in formal relations with the World Health Organisation (WHO) Regional Office for Europe and is a founding member of the EU Platform on Diet, Physical Activity and Health.
These include clinicians, researchers and public health practitioners. Members of EASO benefit from reduced ECO registration fees, reduced Obesity Facts subscriptions and submission fees, free access to educational podcasts and online meet the expert sessions, and free access to EASO topic specific statements and guidelines.
EASO is in formal relations with the WHO Regional Office for Europe and represents obesity in EU initiatives and consultations including the EU Platform on Diet, Physical Activity and health; the Joint Programming Initiative HDHL and the Joint Research Centre Foresight Study on Diet.
This delivers clinical education in the form of ECO workshops, COMs Summit Meetings, treatment protocols and management guidelines.
EASO offers an ECN network, travel grants and awards plus opportunities to communicate with senior colleagues in the obesity field. We encourage all early career researchers to get involved and to apply for travel grants and awards.
