EASD Early Career Academy
We support, train, mentor, and create opportunities for scientists, clinicians, and students in the field of diabetes who are at an early or intermediate stage of their career.
The EASD Early Career Academy provides unique opportunities for development, a platform for exchange of knowledge and experience, peer-support, and interaction with the wider EASD community. Through various activities, it will support and motivate early-career researchers and clinicians in the field of diabetes to become the future leaders that pursue excellence in diabetes care and research.
What we do and offer
Webinars
Held by senior experts who will provide guidance on very practical, key topics that will help early-career clinical and basic/translational investigators move their skills forward.
Journal Clubs
Providing authors at an early stage of their career with the opportunity to disseminate their recently published research findings and inspire colleagues worldwide.
Mentorship Programme
Bringing together junior clinicians or researchers with established mentors to accelerate the development and career of the mentee, and to develop their network in the diabetes field.
Annual Event
Bringing together emerging investigators in basic and clinical diabetes research for a 3-day meeting to learn from leading scientists, explore current topics, and network with peers.
