Dear Colleagues,
We would like to announce that the we have decided to open the online participation option for the 35th European Childhood Obesity Group (ECOG) Congress. This is your opportunity to contribute as researchers, clinicians, and policymakers working to advance sustainable, evidence-based solutions for childhood obesity online (active and passive online access).
ECOG 2026 will be held from 16–18 September 2026 in Salzburg, Austria, under the theme “ImpACT”. The congress will include:
- Keynote lectures and interactive workshops
- Oral and poster sessions, including the Young Investigator Award
- Presentations from EU-funded projects
- The third OBELISK Policy Workshop
The program covers a broad range of topics, such as prevention, pharmacotherapy, lifestyle interventions, precision health, nutrition, physical activity, obesity mechanisms, and policy. All the sessions, with the exception of poster sessions and social events, will be available in the online version.
Hosted at the University of Salzburg, the congress offers an inspiring academic environment in one of Europe’s most culturally vibrant cities.
We encourage you to start planning your trip to Salzburg today. If you can’t attend in person consider joining us online (active and passive online access). Don’t forget to spread the word to your colleagues and bring your team along to this exceptional gathering.
Furthermore, the new updated programme, with all the oral sessions is now online.
We look forward to welcoming you to Salzburg or online!
Kind regards,
The ECOG Secretariat
