The EU Childhood Obesity Programme (Childhood Obesity: Early Programming by Infant Nutrition) has been presented to the media on October 2, 2003 on the occasion of the 9th European Nutrition Conference in Roma.
This research project is a unique pan-European initiative between academics, the EU and industry (the Danone Group), in relation to childhood obesity, an emerging issue across Europe.
The programme is an EU funded long-term multi-centre study (seven academic centres are involved) that will test the new hypothesis that childhood obesity may be linked to high protein intake during infancy. It also aims to collect new data on infant feeding habits and produce new practical nutritional recommendations for children (infants) that may help health professionals and parents better manage the condition.

International Scientific Workshop to present latest research developments
Paris, 2-3 July 2004 - The possibility that nutrition in early life could influence propensity to adult disease is of great concern to public health. In this light, academics and industry have set-up the international scientific workshop “Early Nutrition and its Later Consequences/ New Opportunities” with the support of the EU.
Prime objective of the Workshop was to generate a sound exchange of the latest scientific developments within the field of early nutrition and on opportunities for new preventive health concepts.
Furthermore, a closer look has been taken to the development of food applications, which will provide (future) mothers and infants with improved nutrition that will ultimately lead to better future health.
The workshop was organised by the University of Munich, Germany in collaboration with the Danone Institutes and the Infant Nutrition Cluster, a collaboration of three shared cost research projects funded by the EU.
