EASO takes this opportunity to thank all delegates, speakers and sponsors for helping to make ECO2013 a truly excellent congress, both scientifically and socially. 

The ECO2013 Abstract Book, an official supplement of Obesity Facts, is now available via the EASO website.  Speaker podcasts, presentations and online 'meet-the-expert' sessions will be announced in due course, so visit the EASO website for regular updates.   

The continued success of the ECO is in no small part due to EASO's development of strong and diverse scientific programmes and we are confident that ECO2014 will follow this trend. The ECO2014 Scientific Programme will be feature traditional plenary and review sessions, and will be highlighted by workshops, case studies, meet the expert and training sessions. The programme will focus on critical themes that are relevant to the region and to the fast changing European landscape.

ECO2014 will offer obesity practitioners with practical tools and will prepare researchers for the Horizon 2020 funding environment.   Sessions are organised under six scientific tracks:

1. Discovery and Integrative Science
2. Nutrition, Behaviour, Activity and Environment
3. Childhood and Lifelong Perspectives
4. Prevention, Public Health and Epidemiology
5. Clinical Management and Translation
6. Obesity as a Gateway to other Diseases

Abstract submission will open in October 2013, with a submission deadline of 10th January 2014.  Visit the ECO2014 website for further information and regular updates.
