#dedoc° voices at ISPAD

The #dedoc° voices scholarship enables diabetes advocates to attend the Annual Conference of the International Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Diabetes.

ISPAD 2023: Rotterdam, Netherlands — 18-21 October 2023

#dedoc° believes in the value diabetes advocates bring to scientific congresses. This is why we have created the #dedoc° voices scholarship program. The #dedoc° voices scholarship program grants diabetes advocates access to some of the world’s most renowned scientific conferences. It ensures the presence of the voice of people with diabetes, empowers a new generation of advocates and provides a dedicated platform for people with diabetes, healthcare providers and industry leaders to meet and exchange.

We would like to thank the International Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Diabetes (ISPAD) for welcoming the #dedoc° voices to their conference, as well as our sponsors, for making this scholarship program possible.
