Camillo Golgi Prize

The Camillo Golgi Prize recognises outstanding contributions in the field of histopathology, pathogenesis, prevention and treatment of the complications and comorbidities of diabetes mellitus.

To be eligible for nomination:

  • Candidates must be an EASD member
  • Candidates can be from any country
  • There are no age restrictions

The awardee will receive a monetary prize generously sponsored by Novo Nordisk and will deliver a Lecture during the EASD Annual Meeting in the year of the award describing the awardee’s most important scientific achievements.
