“Danish Diabetes Academy has been instrumental in providing opportunities for talented researchers at all levels. And their involvement does not stop there. The long and varied list of courses they have organised and funded have helped diabetes researchers to create a community, to generate new links and to foster existing networks.

For me personally, DDA has given me the chance to work on the research questions in Diabetes Epidemiology I feel most passionate about and to build a team of talented researchers who are developing and defining the future of Diabetes Epidemiology. These efforts have not gone unnoticed, as evidenced by the recent Harry Keen award given by the International Diabetes Epidemiology Group to me and my group in recognition of the valuable work we do. This would not have been possible without the support from DDA.”
