The Jubilee Congress on Eating Disorders in October 2010 in Alpbach, Austria celebrated the 20th anniversary of the Austrian Network Eating Disorders and the 10th anniversary of the Austrian Society on Eating Disorders (ASED).

This meeting included a panel discussion of five European Patient & Carer Organisations on Eating Disorders (ED) and gave an update of the 1st meeting of five European Patient & Carer Organisations, back in 2005, at the ECED Innsbruck 2005 meeting.

Please find below an updated compilation (April 2011) of all Patient & Carer Organisations on Eating Disorders  we have found. Such a list may facilitate mutual contacts.

NOTE: Should there be any errors or omissions, please contact info@netzwerk-essstoerungen.at

The 2nd panel expressed its will to meet on a more regular basis in the future. As an annual meeting might be too ambitious now, a two-years intervall deemed to be viable. Thus, we would like to offer hosting the 3rd Panel Discussion of European ED Patient & Carer Organisations in 2012 in Alpbach. For that panel, it would be proper to include Patient & Carer Organisations from all over the world.
