Research
The 38th Annual Meeting of the EASD was held in Budapest in 2002. Nearly 11.000 registered participants from 109 countries of the world took part in the Congress. Besides the Europeans we had participants coming from overseas and far countries (e.g. Australia, China, Japan, Korea, South Africa and USA etc.). The programme contained 258 lectures and 992 posters and in addition “State of the Art” lectures and presentations of the EASD prize winners. The 62 exhibiting companies had 4500 m2 of space to receive visitors. www.diabet.hu/easd2002
It was the second EASD Meeting organized in Budapest. The first one was held in 1982 with about 1000 participants. It is hoped that not only the number of the participants but that the quality of the second Meeting increased as well
