Take a look at the Call to Action and the press release.

We are proud to be sharing a new report titled ‘What’s Missing in the EU Research Agenda: Recommendations from The European Association for the Study of Obesity’ which has been developed by the European Association for the Study of Obesity (EASO) in collaboration with 32 other key health organisations, including the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
 
The consultation was held in order to identify critical gaps in the EU Research Agenda which must be addressed to better support understanding, prevention, treatment, and management of obesity as a non-communicable disease (NCD).
 
Recommendations identified from the consultation notably focus on the need to:  

• Bridge the evidence gap on obesity to support meaningful policies that maximise impact 
• Implement a clear chronic disease narrative on obesity and identify structural research parameters 
• Collect, harness and leverage appropriate and meaningful data  
• Support the generation of personalised pathways for prevention, treatment and long-term management of obesity and obesity related complications  
• Improve communication and outreach amongst all research agenda stakeholders

The EJP RD Research Mobility Fellowships funding opportunity is now open until November 28th! The call aims to support PhD students, Postdocs and medical doctors in training to undertake scientific visits fostering specialist research training outside their countries of residence.
The exchange can be carried out within the same ERN (Full Members and Affiliated Partners), between different ERNs (Full Members and Affiliated Partners) and between ERN Full Members / Affiliated Partners and non-ERN institutions. More information on the application can be found here.

This free course has been designed to provide non-experts with the knowledge they need to better understand the importance of real world data, how it’s protected, and the vital role they can play in the healthcare ecosystem and health research.

To participate in the first module, check out the EHDEN Academy and choose the course after setting up a free account. Please circulate also to those with an interest in the patient community.
