2nd European eprObes Week for Early Prevention of Obesity

The 2nd European eprObes Week for Early Prevention of Obesity will take place from February 24th to March 4th, 2026, bringing together coordinated activities across participating countries to engage our main target groups at national and European level.

The main target groups of this initiative are future parents, parents and educators, professionals such as gynaecologists, paediatricians and general practitioners, as well as the general society.

Throughout the week, partners will carry out dissemination and awareness-raising actions, including the promotion and distribution of the eprObes guides tailored to families and professionals. These activities aim to foster healthier lifestyles from early life stages and strengthen prevention efforts across Europe.

As part of the initiative, three opinion articles have been released highlighting the importance of the first 1,000 days as a critical window for obesity prevention. 

The week will conclude with a European Workshop in Córdoba on March 4th, coinciding with World Obesity Day, providing a dedicated space for dialogue, knowledge exchange, and collaboration among stakeholders.

The 2nd European eprObes Week reflects our continued commitment to coordinated, Europe-wide action to support families and promote long-term wellbeing.
