DP-Next Meeting 2026
Welcome!
1 year of DP-Next
On the 1st of September we will reach the 1-year mark of the DP-Next project. We have achieved several early milestones and as the project is now in full swing we think it is a good opportunity to get together, share our experiences so far and make plans for the following years.
The objective for the day is to share early results and experiences, to introduce ourselves to each other, sharing the various PhD and post-doc projects that form part of DP-Next. It will also be an opportunity to meet the members of the DP-Next Scientific Advisory Board and discuss our protocols and methods with them.
During the day, we will also have the opportunity to present DP-Next to the wider researcher community at Steno Diabetes Center during one of the Steno Thursdays meetings.
