EASD Annual Meeting
The European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) was founded in Montecatini, Italy in 1965 as one of the first pan-European academic associations. According to its bylaws the mission of the Association is to encourage and support research in the field of diabetes, to rapidly diffuse acquired knowledge and to facilitate its application. The Association is based on individual membership and embraces scientists, physicians, laboratory workers, nurses and students from all over the world, who are interested in diabetes research. Active members receive the official monthly journal of the Association, Diabetologia, which publishes articles on clinical and experimental diabetes and metabolism.
The Annual Meeting of the Association is held in a different European city each year. Abstracts are invited from members as well as non-members; all abstracts are anonymously reviewed by an abstract selection committee, chaired by the Honorary Secretary. The EASD was one of the first international associations to introduce the anonymous review of abstracts. The high quality of scientific research presented at the Annual Meetings is attested to by the increasing number of participants.
All relevant companies involved in diabetes care and diabetes treatment are Supporting or Associate members of EASD. Together with the EASD Executive Committee they discuss all matters concerning the Association’s life and the Annual Meeting in a yearly forum. The Annual Meeting of EASD has become the world’s leading international forum for diabetes research not only for individual scientists world-wide but also for the pharmaceutical industry.

About DSI Events
Data Sciences International (DSI) is involved in over 60 events every year. These include scientific meetings such as industry trade shows, courses and seminars, workshops, as well as educational user groups and symposia all over the world.
DSI supported educational events are scientific meetings organized in cooperation with a local institution or society, pharmaceutical company, university, or local telemetry user group. Educational event meetings serve as an educational forum in which researchers can freely share current scientific information with their peers, students, and other interested scientists.
Common to the general theme of the meetings is the data collected through physiological monitoring of freely moving conscious laboratory animals made possible through the use of fully implantable telemetry technology.
Presentations and posters on the latest methods employed by the presenting researchers enable those attending to benefit from the as yet unpublished work of peers. Presentations can be on a wide range of related research topics including surgical implantation methods, data analysis methods, treatment effects of new pharmaceutical compounds, new animal models, behavioral and physiological interactions, basic research on physiological systems, and numerous other whole animal chronic monitoring research topics.
Meetings are held in classroom style with ample time allowed for questions and discussion among the participants. Typical audience sizes run from 40 to 120.
