Whats About

The ESPEN Congress will take place in Lyon, France between 19 - 22 Sep 2020. ESPEN was not formally established until 1980, but its foundations were laid in an informal international meeting in Stockholm in 1979, which has commonly come to be regarded as the first ESPEN meeting. Since 2007, ESPEN is an active stakeholder of the European Nutrition for Health Alliance (ENHA) that is a charity organization established to promote and to implement nutritional risk screening and improve nutritional care for all European citizens. ENHA members and partners are key European professional societies, associations and patients groups in public health and healthcare. ENHA works with the European Parliament for achieving its objectives. In 2014, ENHA designed the "Optimal Nutrition Care for All" campaign. In this campaign, ENHA supports European countries to establish/strengthen national multistakeholder platforms to implement nutritional screening and improve nutritional care. The country delegations meet twice a year to update the state of play, exchange good clinical practices and work on innovative projects. In 2017, ESPEN has been officially accepted as an affiliated member society of UEG (United European Gastroenterology).
