Past Events


Since 1997, the international PSAD Group has organised annual scientific meetings for its members, as well as convening several EASD symposia and other workshops and events. These meetings provide an excellent forum for presentations furthering our understanding of the psychosocial aspects of diabetes by experienced and junior researchers alike.
