This EASO Early Career Network webinar explored the discoveries that have shaped our understanding of the adipose organ and its role in obesity and metabolic disease. Professor Saverio Cinti used anatomical and microscopic images to explain the functions of white and brown adipose tissue, their capacity for adaptation, and the consequences of adipose tissue dysfunction. […]

This EASO Early Career Network webinar explored how simulation modelling can inform public health policies and examine inequalities in obesity and population health. Dr Charlotte Buckley introduced microsimulation and agent-based modelling, showing how these approaches bring together evidence and assumptions to explore potential policy impacts. Examples from alcohol policy research and the NOURISH project illustrated […]

Co-hosted with KSSO, this joint EASO COMs webinar explored how ethnicity influences obesity diagnosis, clinical presentation, and treatment response. The session examined differences in diagnostic criteria, body composition, metabolic risk, and appetite-related processes across populations, alongside psychological and biological factors relevant to personalised care. It highlighted the importance of moving beyond one-size-fits-all approaches to support […]

This EASO ECN-EASD Early Career Academy joint webinar explored the value of collaboration between the obesity and diabetes research and clinical communities. Speakers highlighted the shared challenges across both fields, and emphasised how interdisciplinary collaboration can strengthen research, improve patient care, and support career development. Presentations also introduced early career opportunities within both networks, including […]

This EASO COMs webinar explored the role of physical activity within comprehensive, person-centred obesity care, moving beyond weight-focused outcomes to prioritise health, function, and quality of life. Expert speakers examined the evidence for exercise as a core therapeutic component of obesity management and shared practical approaches for embedding tailored physical activity into multidisciplinary care pathways. […]

This ECN eLearning Hub webinar explored how the Italian Obesity Law emerged as a landmark policy achievement and what it could mean as a model for wider European action. Professor Paolo Sbraccia (EASO Treasurer) reflected on the recognition of obesity as a chronic, progressive, relapsing disease and shared practical insights from the legislative process, highlighting […]

This webinar explored recent EASO publications shaping clinical obesity care, including the EASO Framework for the Diagnosis, Staging and Management of Obesity in Adults and the 2025 EASO Algorithm for the Management of Obesity and Complications, published in Nature Medicine. Expert speakers discussed the rationale, structure and clinical application of the framework and algorithm, highlighting […]

This webinar examined why diversity in obesity clinical trials is critical for generating evidence that supports safe, effective, and equitable care for people living with obesity. Dr Dimitri Pournaras (North Bristol NHS Trust and University of Bristol) discussed how trial population characteristics influence the development and real-world use of obesity pharmacotherapy, drawing on findings from […]
