21st European Congress on Obesity

The European Congress on Obesity has been organized since 1988, when it was held in Stockholm. Nowadays, the congress is one of the most important events in this field, which gathers thousands of delegates each year.

The 21st ECO congress is organized by the European Association for Study of Obesity (EASO) and Bulgarian Association for Study of Obesity and Related Diseases (BASORD).

In anticipation of the 21st ECO congress, we had the honour to talk to Professor Svetoslav Handjiev, the President of this year’s congress and the President of Bulgarian Association for Study of Obesity and Related Diseases (BASORD), who share with us some current topics from this year’s Congress, as well as criteria for selection of the host destination.
