PROJECT MEETINGS | EUthyroid Project

Project Meeting – Krakow

Scientists from the EUthyroid project fear that up to 50% of all new-borns in Europe do not reach their full cognitive potential due to iodine deficiency. Coupled with a deteriorating commitment of policymakers, there is a need to ensure that effective strategies to prevent IDD are implemented across Europe.

Project Meeting – Belgrade

Little information about the iodine status of the European public is available and even the potential impact on public health remains uncertain. The EUthyroid project promotes the harmonised monitoring of iodine status to ensure that all children in Europe can realise their full cognitive.

Project Meeting – Copenhagen

Europe remains a patchwork with respect to iodine deficiency prevention programmes, as national programmes are diverse and lack coordination. The EUthyroid project aims to coordinate national stakeholders and mobilise synergies.

Kick–Off Meeting – Vienna

Europe currently has no harmonised approach to ensure that the iodine intake of European citizens is sufficient to prevent health problems. EUthyroid project aims to investigate the iodine intake of the European population as a basis for developing measures for the harmonisation of European iodine intake in cooperation with national authorities.
