The 5 year project started in January 2005 with a total budget of 20.1 million euros (14.5 million EU finding). Partners include 3 food industry multinationals, 5 SMEs together with research institutes and universities. The Diogenes project is truly pan-European and incorporates 29 partners in 14 European countries. The goals of the project are to increase understanding of the processes – genetic, physiological, behavioural, nutritional and environmental – that generate or amplify the level of obesity, and to develop practical procedures that can be used to halt the epidemic and then to reverse it. The Diogenes project has been developed in response to the epidemic of obesity in Europe which is accompanied by severe consequences for public health and huge economic costs.

It is likely that early Roman grammar as practised by Varro and Remmius Palaemon, and as depicted by Quintilian owed much to the introduction of Greek grammatical thought by the Stoic scholars, Diogenes the Babylonian and Crates of Mallos.

Diogenes the Babylonian had among his students Apollodorus of Athens, a scholar with philological interests, and Crates of Mallos, who later became the head of the library of Pergamon. Its contents are partly known through the report given by Diogenes Laertius in book VII of his Lives of philosophers, which constitutes our main source of information on the Stoic conception of grammar (book VII, §§ 55–58 are concerned with the views of Diogenes of Babylonian, as these were known to Diogenes Laertius through the work of Diocles of Magnesia). As a disciple of Chrysippus, Diogenes contributed to Stoic language theory with a ‘treatise on voice’ ( Tekhnê peri phones the term ‘voice’ refers here to the articulation of sounds by a human subject), which has not been conserved (fragments in von Arnim, 1903: 214–215). He later became the fifth head of the Stoic school, after Zeno of Tarsus.
