English version below 

De Diabetes Liga nodigt je van harte uit op het 1e Diabetes Liga Onderzoekssymposium op woensdag 29 november te Leuven! Het symposium voor en door diabetesonderzoekers in Vlaanderen. 

Het belangrijkste doel van dit symposium is het samenbrengen van diabetesonderzoekers in Vlaanderen, ter bevordering van kennisdeling, het smeden van samenwerkingsverbanden en interdisciplinariteit. Bovendien streven we ernaar om (jonge) onderzoekers een platform te bieden om hun recente onderzoeksresultaten te presenteren en bekend te maken. 

Het symposium staat volledig in het teken van het Diabetes Liga jaarthema voor 2023: "Het empoweren van personen met diabetes - een reis die verder gaat dan enkel medische behandeling." Dit thema wordt heel breed benaderd, denk maar aan leefstijl, educatie, communicatie, zelfmanagement, technologie en mentale gezondheid. 

De deelnemers kunnen een boeiende mix verwachten van zowel nationale als internationale keynote sprekers, evenals mondelinge en posterpresentaties (zie het volledige programma). Dit alles wordt gecombineerd met ruime mogelijkheden voor netwerken en interactie. 

De inschrijvingen zijn inmiddels afgesloten.

research

The Diabetes League cordially invites you to the 1st Diabetes League Research Symposium on Wednesday 29 November in Leuven! The symposium for and by diabetes researchers in Flanders. 

The main goal of this symposium is to bring together diabetes researchers in Flanders, with the aim of sharing knowledge, forging collaborations and promoting interdisciplinarity. Moreover, we aim to provide (young) researchers with a platform to present their recent research results. 

The symposium is entirely dedicated to the Diabetes League’s annual theme for 2023: “Empowering people with diabetes - a journey beyond medical treatment alone.” This theme can be interpreted in various ways, for example in the areas of lifestyle, education, communication, self-management, technology and mental health. 

Attendees can expect an exciting mix of both national and international keynote speakers, as well as oral and poster presentations (see the full program). All this will be combined with ample opportunities for networking and interaction. 

The registrations have been closed.

Interested researchers can register with an abstract of their research and indicate their preference for an oral or poster presentation. For the oral presentation, a selection will be made by Diabetes League based on quality of research and diversity of topic. If not selected for an oral presentation, a poster presentation will be offered.
