Diabetes Global Impact Prize
The EASD Diabetes Global Impact Prize recognises individuals with outstanding contributions in clinical/translational research on diabetes that have had a 'global impact'.
Such an impact could be evaluated by considering the ability of such research to inspire or shape clinical guidelines and recommendations, diagnostic approaches or procedures, and models of care, also in relation with regional contexts worldwide, with the ultimate achievement of improving the life of people with diabetes.
The awardee will receive a monetary prize generously sponsored by Lilly and will deliver a lecture during the EASD Annual Meeting in the year of the award describing the awardee’s most important scientific achievements.Call for Nominations - EASD Global Impact Prize 2026
