About the event
With lectures from leading endocrine researchers and group breakout sessions to discuss scientific challenges in detail, delegates will benefit from expert education across this broad field.
This event is an excellent way to not only grow as a scientist, but to make friends across Europe in the field of endocrinology, with an extensive social programme, including networking, sports and group activities, complementing the outstanding scientific education provided.
This is a basic science-focused school, however some translational topics will be covered.
