Workshop
The International Diabetes Epidemiology Group’s biannual one-day Workshop on Diabetes Epidemiology Methods will be held in Porto, Portugal, immediately before the 17th Symposium of the International Diabetes Epidemiology Group (IDEG).
The purpose of the workshop is to train and strengthen early stage researchers and medical doctors conducting or wishing to conduct research in diabetes epidemiology. The workshop is also an excellent way to meet and interact with colleagues in the field of diabetes epidemiology from around the world.
