Today we had the kick off meeting of the Energy project. ENERGY stands for “EuropeaN Energy balance Research to prevent excessive weight Gain among Youth : Theory and evidence-based development and validation of an intervention scheme to promote healthy nutrition and physical activity.”
ENERGY is funded by the European Commission through its 7th framework program, and the EMGO+ Institute coordinates the project, with Amika Singh as project coordinator. Within the ENERGY project 14 partners from 11 countries will work in 11 work packages to use behaviour change theory, existing scientific evidence and original research to build and test a school-based and family-involved intervention scheme to help curb the obesity epidemic among school-aged children. The ENERGY consortium includes experts from the Obesity Related Behaviour Research Group of Durham University, UK, University of Ghent, Belgium, Universities of Oslo and Agder in Norway, Harokopio University in Athens, Greece, and partners from Denmark, Hungary, Slovenia, and Germany. WHO Europe and the European Association for the Study of Obesity are also involved. The ResCon Research company has been subcontracted to help us with the data collection and data management.
Soon the ENERGY website will be launched with more information about the project. I will also report on the progress of the project here. The picture shows the participants of the kick off meeting, and a wise advice from our EU-liasson officer.
