Swedish Diabetes Summit

This meeting aims to bring together Swedish researchers within diabetes forming an arena for new interactions and collaborations. Another important feature is to expose the Swedish research community to world-leading research within the area. The two Swedish SFOs in diabetes, SRP Diabetes and EXODIAB, have the responsibility to ensure a continuity of these meetings.

There are participants from most Swedish Universities, from small and large companies, from the healthcare and from patient organizations. Several companies active in the area are also present with exhibitions. We look forward to two exciting days!
