About us

Young Investigators United was established in 2005 by a small group of European scientists, through the European Association for the Study of Obesity (EASO) and now attracts growing numbers of young investigators to its events each year.

The EASO Young Investigators typically meet once a year at the European Congress on Obesity to interact and share ideas with like-minded scientists.

Young Investigators United aims to:

• Facilitate the networking of young European scientists
• Provide an arena for the exchange of ideas and best practices between experts and experts-to-come
• Improve opportunities for future collaborations or consultations when heading for the common goal: preventing and treating obesity.

Young Investigators United is directed by the YIU board and YIU events are coordinated by EASO.
