In order for young investigators to attend the SSSD meeting in Denmark we will offer travel grants which will cover a major part of the costs associated with participation in the meeting. Details on these grants will be posted later.

We would like to draw your attention to the possibilities to apply for Young Investigators Awards and to nominate colleagues for the Knud Lundbeck Lecture (link).

The board of the SSSD is presently made up of Valdemar Grill (chairman) and P?l Nj?lstad for Norway, Outi Vaarala and Olli Simell for Finland , Marju Orho-Melander and Per-Ola Carlsson for Sweden, Niels Grarup and Kurt H?ylund for Denmark and Kolbeinn Gudmundsson and Bolli Thorsson from Iceland.

We strongly encourage everyone residing in, and also outside, the Nordic countries who is interested in diabetes research to become a member of the society and to participate in the yearly meetings. mail@sssd.info.
