European Congress on Obesity

Obesity stigma is perpetuated by harmful social stereotypes that unfairly characterize individuals with obesity, leading to discrimination and mistreatment that can impact their mental and physical health, as well as their overall quality of life.
The upcoming European Congress on Obesity (ECO) in Malaga, Spain, will serve as a critical platform to address these pressing issues. Set against the backdrop of Malaga’s vibrant culture, the congress will bring together leading experts, healthcare professionals, researchers, and advocates from across Europe and beyond to explore innovative approaches in combating obesity and the stigma surrounding it. The event will provide a comprehensive program that includes discussions on the science of obesity, public health strategies, clinical management, and policy interventions. Special focus will be given to tackling obesity stigma and promoting a more compassionate and evidence-based understanding of obesity.
By attending the congress, participants will have the opportunity to engage in thought-provoking presentations, collaborative workshops, and networking sessions designed to share knowledge and best practices in the field. This gathering aims to not only advance the understanding of obesity but also to inspire collective action to reduce bias and improve the lives of individuals affected by obesity.
