Organised by the European Commission on the subject of "Towards a global initiative on gene-environment interactions in diabetes/obesity in specific populations", this conference will bring together
Leading scientists in the field from across the globe
National funding agencies from different parts of the world
National, European and international policy-makers
Other key players in the field
Under its current research framework programme, the European Union supports a series of major scientific projects to better understand and combat type-2 diabetes. Each project focuses on a different region of the world. The conference will take this global approach further by presenting the state of play and by exploring opportunities for even greater international cooperation and new partnerships.
