Young NVDO meeting

Annual meeting of the young investigators of the Dutch Association for Diabetes Research (‘Jonge NVDO-bijeenkomst’)

Once yearly, this meeting is held in the Netherlands. Young investigators from the Netherlands and Belgium who participate in clinical, basic or epidemiological research related to diabetes are invited to submit an abstract. 12-16 participants usually attend the meeting and present their data. Two senior discussants and the other presenters provide feedback. An abstract may consist of (preliminary) data, a case report or a research proposal.

This meeting is known for its relaxed, friendly and low-threshold atmosphere where basic concepts may be discussed that are often assumed to be known at larger conferences.
It is a small meeting by and for young investigators, where you can practice presenting and discussing research in a conference-like setting, as well as share experiences and socialize.
With other young investigators in the field during the included social programme. A big advantage of this meeting is that not only results may be discussed, but also plans for future research.
The audience is usually very versatile, with researchers discussing basic, epidemiological, translational or clinical research. This may be from any relevant perspective: for example medical, biomedical, nursing or dietary. The Young NVDO Meeting usually comprises two days and includes lunch, dinner, an overnight stay, and breakfast.

The next meeting will likely be held
in January of 2023

Northern European Young Diabetologists (NEYD)

The annual meeting of North European Young Diabetologists (NEYD, formerly Anglo-Danish-Dutch Diabetes Group) will take place from Wednesday May 18th until May 20th 2022 in The Netherlands.

NEYD is just as relaxed, friendly and low-threshold as the Young NVDO Meeting, but with a real international element to it. More experienced researchers are on hand to guide and critique. At the end of the meeting one senior investigator will hold a state-of-the-art lecture, and two other senior investigators will have a debate on a controversial or challenging diabetes-related topic. In addition to the scientific program, each year a social activity (usually outdoors) is organized which additionally provides the opportunity to meet diabetes researchers from other countries in a relaxed environment.

In 2022 the meeting will be held in The Netherlands, under the flag of the Dutch Association for Diabetes Research. The costs to participate are approximately € 200,00 (including registration, hotel and meals).

The next meeting will be held in the Netherlands, May 18th-20th 2022

Abstracts may be sent in before March 1st 2022
