About us

The European Chapter of the Academy for Eating Disorders is a multidisciplinary group of therapists and researchers from Europe with a powerful voice in the field of academic, clinical, research, policy, media and advocacy work related to eating disorders. The group regularly hosts an annual symposium in the late Fall/early Winter and at the Academy for Eating Disorders (AED) Annual International Conference on Eating Disorders (ICED).

The European Chapter was formed in 2017 and organized its first European Conference on 10 March 2018 in Rome. Since then, at least one European Conference has taken place in the days leading up to the International Conferences on Eating Disorders, hosted by the Academy for Eating Disorders (AED). These were joined by the Conference organized in December 2019 at the Royal College of Psychiatrist in London just before the outbreak of the pandemic and the fifth virtual European Conference organized by Sisdca and SIPA.
