  The MAPPS II Surveys are now live!

  This year, the World Obesity Federation launched the Management & Advocacy for Providers, Patients and Systems (MAPPS II) project to better understand how systems worldwide support obesity care and prevention, and the social, political and commercial factors that shape these efforts.

  They are now inviting responses to three live surveys, available in multiple languages, to gather insights from:

  • Health care professionals
  • Public health experts, policy makers, researchers, advocacy groups and civil society
  • People with lived experience of obesity and their caregivers

  Your input will help shape future advocacy efforts and policy change by building the evidence base on obesity in different contexts and health systems. Take part now, and help spread the word!

  Upcoming Webinar: Sleep, Shift Work, and Health – Finding the Balance for World Sleep Day

  In commemoration of World Sleep Day, a global panel of experts will convene on March 13, 2026, for a specialized webinar titled "Sleep, Shift Work and Health: what is needed for the balance?". The event aims to address the critical challenges faced by workers in non-traditional schedules and explore scientific solutions to improve their well-being and performance.

  Expert Insights on Circadian Health and Work Schedules

  The webinar will feature three distinguished speakers sharing the latest research and practical interventions in the field:

  • PhD Philip Cheng (Sleep Disorders and Research Center at Henry Ford Health, USA) will present on "Precision Circadian Medicine for Night Shift Workers," highlighting tailored medical approaches for those working against their internal biological clocks.
  • PhD Imelda Wong (Chair of the ICOH Scientific Committee on Shiftwork and Working Time) will discuss "Adapting shift work schedules to improve sleep and sleepiness," sharing vital findings from a recent Cochrane Review.
  • PhD Rachael Muck (Sleep and Performance Research Center, Washington State University, USA) will explore the nuances of "Interindividual differences in sleep, performance, and pharmacological interventions," looking beyond the "average" worker to understand why different people respond differently to shift work.

  This event is a collaborative effort co-organized by the ICOH Scientific Committee on Shiftwork and Working Time, the Working Time Society, and the ICOH National Secretary of Perú.
