ESPEN 2020 IS NOW A FULLY VIRTUAL CONGRESS

Dear ESPEN community,

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, substantial uncertainties, unfortunately, remain on safety and feasibility of many activities and events for several months ahead, both in Europe and worldwide. Travel limitations also will most likely remain substantial in the near future.

ESPEN has therefore taken the difficult decision to cancel our physical 2020 Congress, and at the same time, we have decided to put our best energy in organising a Virtual Congress. We wish to thank the Lyon teams who continue to collaborate with central ESPEN, and to reassure all of you that ESPEN is fully committed to creating a virtual event up to the highest standards of science, education and innovation.

We will use state-of-the-art technology to ensure fruitful exchanges, presentations of original findings and inclusion of up-to-date topics in a renewed programme. We believe that we need to meet virtually in this very difficult year, to continue to disseminate and strengthen our strong messages on the key role of nutritional care in all fields of patient care; and we need to discuss how clinical nutrition has to become an integral part of care also in the new challenges posed by COVID-19 patients.

We have been greatly encouraged by an outstanding number of abstract submissions at the regular submission deadline; under these difficult circumstances, it is extremely meaningful and appreciated. Please take advantage of the additional opportunity to submit abstracts during the late-breaking submission period, which has been extended to 30 June 2020, with no submission fees.

Let us all take the opportunity to network and learn from each other in the ESPEN 2020 Virtual Congress. We look forward to meeting you all in September!

Best regards

13th European Nutrition Conference

Federation of European Nutrition Societies (FENS) 2019

15 – 18 October 2019 in the

Convention Centre Dublin, Ireland

Welcome,

The Nutrition Society in cooperation with The Nutrition Society Irish Section are pleased, as hosts, to invite you to the 13th European Nutrition Conference, Federation of European Nutrition Societies (FENS) 2019 in Dublin, Ireland. The conference will take place from 15 – 18 October 2019 in the Convention Centre Dublin, Ireland in the heart of Dublin city.

The FENS European Nutrition Conference is held once every four years, and is the premier European meeting in its field.

The theme for the 2019 conference is “Malnutrition in an Obese World: European Perspectives”.

The scientific programme will feature the best international speakers, covering a wide programme of subject areas across the spectrum of nutritional science in plenary and parallel session formats. Both oral and poster presentation opportunities for submitted papers and invited speaker slots, will be included in the four-day programme. A range of other sessions, such as workshops sessions, special “Hot Topic” presentations, industrial symposia, panel debates, and satellite symposia or sessions hosted by related organisations and societies are welcome. There is sufficient meeting space within the venue to accommodate a wide range of smaller meetings and sessions, as well as nearby hotels, should any visiting societies wish to hold private meetings off-site.

Dublin is one of Europe’s great cities. It is presently one of the major cities for industry and sciences. Dublin’s reputation for hospitality and for ensuring a fabulous welcome is legendary. Its cultural pedigree is renowned from the famous Book of Kells in Trinity College, a vibrant traditional music scene, to the fact that it has been designated as a UNESCO City of Literature with a literary heritage stretching over hundreds of years. It is small enough to ensure that all conference events and accommodation will be just a short walk away while large enough to allow one to get lost wandering its museums, music venues, restaurants and, of course, traditional pubs.

We look forward to welcoming and meeting you in Dublin in 2019 for a truly memorable FENS European Nutrition Conference.

Professor Philip Calder & Professor Helene McNulty
Co-Chairs FENS 2019

About European Obesity Day

European Obesity Day 2017 will be held on Saturday 20 May. It brings together healthcare, patient and political communities who are keen to raise awareness of obesity and the many other diseases on which it impacts. The theme for EOD 2017 is Tackling Obesity Together.

The aim is to increase knowledge and understanding of the need for action at both European and national levels to improve prevention, treatment and care. At the same time, the campaign supports European citizens who are overweight or have obesity to make lifestyle changes to manage their weight and improve their overall health and quality of life.

Although European Obesity Day is a recognised international awareness day, the activities and initiatives that take place around it are just as important. These include events held at local, national and international level held in the lead up to EOD and many which will continue afterwards, please see press release related to EOD 2016.

The story behind European Obesity Day

The first European Obesity Day (EOD) was held in May 2010. What started as a grass-roots campaign involving a small group of concerned doctors and patients, quickly turned into a major event with participants and activities across many European countries.

Events have ranged from picnics and information stands in Paris, to walks and fun runs; briefings for healthcare professionals and pharmacists; the free distribution of fresh fruit and vegetables; debates and workshops for politicians and policymakers; media briefings and press conferences; and the free use of city bikes for the day. A more detailed list of some of the activities appears here.

In 2010 EOD received the award for ‘Campaign of the Year’ at the European Public Affairs Awards.

The importance of European Obesity Day

European Obesity Day is an important opportunity to raise awareness about obesity.

For EOD 2017 we will be highlighting the need for obesity to be more widely recognised by the European Union and member state governments as a chronic disease and to draw attention to the benefits this will bring to both individuals and to healthcare systems. Obesity is recognised as a chronic disease that requires long-term management by health organisations such as WHO [1], The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) [2], The American Medical Association (AMA) [3] and the Canadian Medical Association (CMA) [4].

Recognition of obesity as a chronic disease by European Member States will result in greater access to care and treatment for those who are overweight or who have obesity. [5] [6]

At the same time, the campaign supports the broader initiatives of EASO, and national associations and collaborating centres, to encourage European citizens who are overweight or who have obesity to make the necessary changes to manage their weight and improve their overall health and quality of life.

Who is behind European Obesity Day

European Obesity Day is a campaign platform of the European Association for the Study of Obesity (EASO).

Established in 1986, EASO is a federation of professional membership associations from 32 European countries. It is the voice of the European obesity community, representing scientists, health care practitioners, physicians, public health experts and patients. EASO is in formal relations with the World Health Organisation (WHO) Regional Office for Europe and is a founding member of the EU Platform on Diet, Physical Activity and Health.

EASO promotes action through collaboration: in advocacy, communication, education and research. EASO facilitates and engages in actions that prevent and combat the epidemic of obesity. It contributes to high level European and National scientific consultations, hosts the annual European Congress on Obesity (ECO), has dynamic and active topic specific Task Forces and Working Groups, and coordinates obesity education across Europe. EASO’s mission is to reduce the burden of unhealthy weight.

It is enabled with the support of Medtronic and Novo Nordisk.

Launch of BAPEN’s Malnutrition Self-Screening Tool

December 1^st, 2015

The tool, developed by the Malnutrition Action Group of BAPEN, with input from PENG dietitians, is accessible on-line.  It is designed to help patients and /or their carers identify their risk of malnutrition and give advice on action to take.

Based on ‘MUST’, the new Malnutrition Self-Screening Tool includes an easy-to-use calculator to identify risk of malnutrition, first line dietary advice to improve nutritional intake and encourages those at risk to seek further help and information from their GP or other healthcare professional including Dietitians.  The BAPEN Self-Screening website also includes a page for healthcare professionals, with links to the Self-Screening calculator and the ‘Malnutrition pathway’ resources.

The launch of this Malnutrition Self-Screening Tool represents BAPEN’s commitment to improve nutritional care in the community, where most malnutrition develops and exists at a given point in time.

The Malnutrition Self-Screening Tool will be available via a new website: www.malnutritionselfscreening.org
