PEACETIME EU Project
Obesity is one of the greatest public health challenges facing the island of Ireland, affecting over three million people and placing enormous pressure on health and social care systems.
DISSEMINATION AND STRATEGIC POLICY PERSPECTIVES IN EUROPEAN OBESITY RESEARCH PROJECTS
EASO plays a pivotal role as a dissemination partner and in shaping the strategic direction and policy development within various EU-funded research projects, including Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe initiatives.
As a Work Package (WP) Leader or consortium partner, EASO actively contributes to the development of perspectives and strategies in formulating policy and dissemination work package plans. These encompass a wide range of tasks such as establishing project identity, branding, website development, communications and media strategies, social media outreach, organizing educational workshops, facilitating scientific exchange, guiding the development of best practice guidelines, stakeholder mapping and suggesting approaches which incorporate policy strategies to address obesity.
Our involvement in EU research projects extends beyond dissemination to include a focus on aligning research objectives with EU policy priorities, enhancing the impact and visibility of research findings at both European and global levels. We are eager to explore collaboration opportunities with organisations engaged in European obesity research, aiming to elevate the strategic positioning of projects within the broader EU policy framework.

OBEClust
Nine EU-backed projects have joined forces in an unprecedented collaborative effort, leading to the formation of OBEClust: the European Cluster of Obesity Research Projects. These innovative research projects focus on identifying risk factors associated with overweight and obesity, promoting prevention and behavioural interventions, as well as developing personalised solutions to maintain a healthy weight and lifestyle throughout life.
OBCT
OBCT, a new Horizon Europe Research and Innovation project, will investigate the complex, dynamic interplay between biological, sociocultural and environmental risk factors of obesity across the life course in Europe. It will then provide knowledge, maps and tools for health professionals, researchers, policymakers and the public to support obesity prevention.
BETTER4U
BETTER4U is an EU-funded project that aims to develop, evaluate, and promote evidence-based and sustainable personalized lifestyle interventions to prevent and address obesity.
IMI SOPHIA
The IMI SOPHIA project aims to improve our ability to predict who will experience which complications, and who will respond best to different obesity treatments. Part of the project will focus in particular on the relationship between type 1 diabetes and weight, as a large proportion of people with type 1 diabetes is overweight or has obesity.
STAGE: Staying Healthy Through Ageing
STAGE, Staying Healthy Through Ageing, focuses on the study of healthy aging. The project brings together experts to investigate aging and multi-morbidity—the presence of multiple long-term health conditions—using extensive health data collected over lifetimes. The key aim of the project is to understand how to prevent these complex health issues.
BIO-STREAMS
Our primary focus is to address the increasing prevalence of childhood obesity across Europe
PREVENT EU
The EU PREVENT Project is working to identify and overcome barriers to implementing strategies to address childhood obesity and to improve interventions for childhood and teen weight management to reduce cancer risk in adulthood.
Timespan
EASO is pleased to be part of a consortium of 18 partners across the world in announcing TIMESPAN - an innovative approach to management of ADHD using Real-World Data.
SWEET
SWEET, a European Commission Horizon 2020 funded project, is supported by a consortium of 29 pan-European research, consumer and industry partners, who will develop and review evidence on long term benefits and potential risks involved in switching over to sweeteners and sweetness enhancers (S&SEs) in the context of public health and safety, obesity, and sustainability.
