Nine EU-backed projects unite to form OBEClust, a European cluster dedicated to researching and addressing the global obesity epidemic. This unprecedented collaboration seeks to identify risk factors, promote prevention and behavioral interventions, and develop personalized solutions for maintaining a healthy weight and lifestyle.
EUFIC - European Food Information CouncilFeb 6 2025 Over the past decades, obesity has reached epidemic proportions, now affecting more than 1 billion people worldwide. Childhood obesity, in particular, is rising at an alarming rate. According to the World Obesity Federation, the number of children with obesity is expected to double between 2020 and 2035. Obesity carries serious health consequences, strains national healthcare systems, and reduces overall quality of life.
More impact through collaboration The formation of OBEClust totals € 80M in research funding from the European Union, the Swiss State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation and UK Research and Innovation under the UK government's Horizon Europe funding guarantee. This initiative underscores the importance of cross-disciplinary and cross-country collaboration in addressing the obesity crisis.
With over 1 billion people affected by obesity worldwide, the time to act is now. OBEClust brings together a multidisciplinary network of experts and resources to find real solutions that will benefit millions across Europe and beyond." OBEClust projects are committed to jointly strengthening and aligning methods and outputs to achieve effective interventions and policy guidelines for obesity prevention and treatment.
