Its core objective is to provide unique opportunities for development, a platform for exchange of knowledge and experience, peer-support, and interaction with the wider EASD community.

Through these 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.

The EASD Early Career Academy stands for the highest research standards and open science.

The EASD Early Career Academy will provide fellows with the SCOPE for innovation and development.
