Industry Sponsored Satellite Symposia are sessions that are planned and conducted by the corporate community in conjunction with ECO2014. They provide attendees with additional educational/informational opportunities but are not part of the official ECO2014 scientific programme

Welcome Dear Colleagues The European Association for the Study of Obesity (EASO) and the Bulgarian Association for the Study of Obesity and Related Diseases (BASORD), are delighted to invite you to attend the 21st European Congress on Obesity (ECO2014) in Sofia on the 28 – 31 May 2014. The ECO2014 Scientific Programme Highlighted by workshops, case studies, meet the expert and training sessions, augmented by traditional plenary and review sessions . The programme will highlight 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. The congress will be more inclusive than ever before. The programme will give more opportunity for interaction between delegates and experts in workshop settings, and more opportunity to present obesity researchers to present their findings. As is now usual at the ECO, the most relevant abstracts will be incorporated into Review Sessions and workshop. The Sofia ECO2014 scientific programme will also be augmented by a series of topicspecific pre- and post- congress meetings. Abstract Submission will open in October 2013 for oral and poster sessions structured into six key scientific tracks: • Discovery and Integrative Science • Nutrition, Behaviour, Activity and Environment • Childhood and Lifelong Perspectives • Prevention, Public Health and Epidemiology • Clinical Management and Translation • Obesity as a Gateway to other Diseases

Social Programme and Networking One of the main benefits of attending ECO is the opportunity to network with colleagues from around the world. The Sofia ECO2014 Organising Committee has developed an exciting social programme which offers an excellent opportunity to meet old and new friends and to experience Sofia. Sofia Surrounded by sprawling parkland, Sofia, the capital and largest city of the Republic of Bulgaria, lies at the foot of popular ski mountain, Vitosha. With a history that stretches over seven millennia, ruin-rich Sofia is one of Europe’s oldest cities. The National Historical Museum is one of Eastern Europe’s most extensive. Wide, cobblestone boulevards, charming boutiques and truly electrifying nightlife star in this city of 1.3 million. Trolleys, trams and buses traverse the dynamic city. The city is located at a strategic crossroads. The route from Western Europe to Istanbul passes through Sofia via Beograd and Skopje, then through Plovdiv to Turkey. Sofia also connects The Near East and The Middle East, lying between the banks of The Danube and the shores of The White Sea on the one hand, and between The Black Sea and The Adriatic on the other. Sofia has something for every taste. There are a great many luxury hotels, including those that are part of international hotel chains. There is also a wide variety of hostels and smaller family guesthouses. There are a multitude of discotheques, restaurants, bars, folk clubs, taverns, soda fountains, and many other kinds of entertainment. One of Sofia’s favorite spots for both visitors and residents is Vitosha Boulevard. Here thee are shops carrying world-famous brands, and since it’s a pedestrian zone, it a very pleasant place for strolling and relaxation. In general, the capital is a shoppers delight, since Sofia is still one of the major crossroads on the Balkan Peninsula for trade of all kinds Sofia preserves many valuable monuments to its long and storied past. Visitors exploring the city’s streets can see remnants of The Eastern Gate from the days when Sofia was Serdika and Sredets, dating from the 2nd-4th centuries CE. These remains are exhibited in the underpass connecting the Presidential Palace and The Ministerial Council, surrounded by shops selling traditional Bulgarian souvenirs and rosewater. Sofia’s parks are a favorite place for rest and recreation. Borisov Park is right in the center of the city, and South Park is next to the National Palace of Culture. The Sofia Zoological Garden in the southern part of the city is the country’s larges zoo. It is a favorite place for a day’s outing for young and old alike.

EU Workshops The aim of EASO is to support excellence in obesity science across Europe and to facilitate the exchange of ideas, methodological innovations, and new advances across the obesity field. At the centre of this is interdisciplinary collaboration built on the platform of European Framework funding. The congress will encourage discussion and debate, to help delegates think in innovative ways about how to work together to develop effective interventions; and to encourage researchers in all aspects of obesity to collaborate on research ideas, particularly in relation to the next EU Framework grant scheme, Horizon 2020. Delegates interested in learning more about opportunities available via Horizon2020, should attend the following workshops. Monday 13th May 2013: 1315 – 1445 hrs Delivering innovation from research - impact and delivery Where is the delivery point for your work? How policy and business is impacting nutrition and health research. This workshop looks at the policy and business drivers that innovators and researchers should know in planning their long term work and partnerships. Social changes, global nutrition targets, finance and policy targets will impact early stage innovations as well as funding available for research. We will hear from big industry and policy makers about factors that include their decisions. to update Tuesday 14th May 2013: 1315 – 1445 hrs International collaborative funding - to the Horizon and beyond The world is a small place and success comes through international collaboration. There are a multitude of international collaborative funding programmes that you should consider and this workshop addresses programmes including Horizon 2020, EuroTransBio and the Innovative Medicines Initiative, as well as non-European sources including NIH, US Department of Defense and the many charitable foundations that fund research. These programmes are not just a source of funding, they are a source of partnership and you should be using them. Wednesday 15th May 2013: 1145 – 1315 hrs Building and managing international consortia - working beyond your sector The main challenge for collaborative research is working with partners beyond your comfort zone; academia, the clinic, biotech companies and large multi-nationals - they all have the challenge of finding the right partners and building a successful partnership. This workshop focuses on how to work outside your sector, with case studies from all sides - share your own experience and learn for the next international partnership!

DALI study

(vitamin D And Lifestyle Intervention for gestational diabetes mellitus prevention)

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and obesity in pregnancy are growing problems that can affect both women and their offspring not only through perinatal complications, but also through the development of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease later in life. The main objectives of the EU-project DALI (vitamin D And Lifestyle Intervention for GDM prevention) is to develop common European approaches to prevent GDM while collecting reliable epidemiological data. The effectiveness of different intervention strategies during pregnancy will be analyzed in an obese pan-European pregnant population through diet, physical activity, Vitamin D and combinations of these interventions.

Dorian is a three year collaborative European research project funded by the European Community Seventh Framework programme. The objective is to establish if maternal obesity is linked to unhealthy ageing: should maternal obesity modify the function of the placenta, through the transfer of nutrients, hormones and signals to the growing baby? There are two particular hormones monitored: Insulin and Cortisol, these could be linked to premature or unhealthy ageing (looking at diabetes, heart diseases, cognitive decline) of individuals born from obese mothers. The Dorian findings will be published at the end of 2014. The work leading to these results has received funding from the European Union Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/2007-2013) under grant agreement n째 278603.

Established in 1986, EASO is the leading European scientific- and practice-based professional membership association in this field, with networks in over 30 countries.

SPOTLIGHT

Sustainable prevention of obesity through integrated strategies Contact: Jeroen Lakerveld VUmc â&#x20AC;&#x201C; EMGO Institute for Health and Care Research Van der Boechorststraat 7 1081 BT Amsterdam, the Netherlands

SPOTLIGHT is a EC-FP7 funded project started in 2012. It focuses on integrated health promotion strategies for sustainable behaviour change contributing to prevention of overweight and obesity. For this project, researchers from thirteen organisations in eight European countries join forces, supported by a team of external advisors. SPOTLIGHT aims to increase and combine knowledge on the wide range of determinants of obesity in a systematic way, and to identify community-based approaches that are strong in terms of Reach, Efficacy, Adoption, Implementation and Maintenance (RE-AIM). While obesity prevention strategies have often focused on the individual, a major part of this project is devoted to identify the physical and social environmental elements that shape peoples behaviour, and how these elements interact with individual-level determinants.

EASO Awards for Scientific Excellence EASO Young Investigator Award – Clinical Research Dr. Claudia Szendrödi, Austria? Dr. Szendrödi, PhD, received her MD in 2002 and then performed electrophysiologic studies at the Institute of Pharmacology in Vienna. In 2004 she joined the research group of Michael Roden conducting clinical-experimental studies. She learned the application of high-field resolution magnetic resonance spectroscopy, analysis of metabolic flux rates and metabolite concentrations, as well as performance of pancreatic clamps combined with isotopedilution techniques. From 2006 to 2008 she was resident in Internal Medicine, Endocrinology, Diabetology and Metabolic Diseases, at the Hanusch Hospital, Teaching Hospital of Medical University Vienna, always continuing research. In 2008, she was promoted to be deputy leader of the research group “Energy Metabolism“ and in 2013 as head of the Clinical Research Center at the German Diabetes Center in Düsseldorf. In parallel, she was responsible for the Obesity Clinic at the Departments of Metabolic Diseases and Endocrinology and Diabetology at Heinrich-Heine University Hospital Düsseldorf, Germany and finalized her specialisation in Internal Medicine. Her scientific and clinical interests are the investigation of the cellular mechanisms underlying insulin resistance in humans and mouse models over the course from obesity and non-alcoholic fatty liver to type-2 diabetes. She published mostly in high-ranking top journals and described as first author, e.g. the role of muscle mitochondrial metabolism for the development of nonalcoholic fatty liver, the role of local perfusion in lipid-induced insulin resistance, the first report on alterations of hepatic ATP content and muscle ATP synthesis in obese and type-2 diabetes patients.
