Dear Colleague,

It is our pleasure to invite you to Vichy on the occasion of the 31st European Childhood Obesity Group (ECOG 2022) congress. ECOG 2022 will take place from the 2nd to the 4th of November in Vichy, a city bursting with a wide choice of world class attractions, legendary music and culture and worldwide renowned thermal baths. This year’s congress aims to bring together childhood obesity experts and young scientists from across Europe.

The scientific programme will approach the multidisciplinary nature of childhood obesity prevention and treatment, giving the floor to some of the finest experts in policies and management strategies, dietary interventions, appetite and eating behaviours, pharmacological strategies as well and family programs and general physiology and metabolism. In addition, international associations such as the World Health Organization and the European Association for the Study of Obesity will animate and lead specific sessions.

ECOG 2022 will be an excellent opportunity to meet, discuss and share information and experiences with like-minded colleagues. It will be the perfect occasion for practitioners to share the experiences and enrich their career and for early career students and scientists to take their first step in the field, guided by international experts and mentors.

In the following months, we will provide you with more information about: ECOG board and ECOG 2022 scientific and organising committees, scientific and social programmes, congress venue and accommodations, registration forms and fees.
