OPEN-EU
ESDN Obesity works closely with OPEN-EU.
OPEN-EU is a new initiative within OPEN, launched in 2020, which seeks to ensure that all relevant European institutional strategies and policies integrate measures that effectively help support people living with obesity.
OPEN-EU aims to unite key EU experts, policy and decision-makers covering a wide range of areas including disability, urban planning, sports, healthcare, industry and public health amongst others.
The intention of the coalition is to work together to implement a cross-cutting policy approach at an EU level which seeks to ensure that all relevant European institutional strategies and policies integrate measures that effectively help support people living with obesity. A focus will be to ensure EU nations are empowered and able to provide people living with obesity access to fair, effective obesity treatment and management.
