Nominations for the Albert Renold Prize 2025

We invite you to nominate your candidate for the EASD Albert Renold Prize 2025 - Give a valued colleague the recognition they deserve for research achievements in the field of pathophysiology and treatment of diabetes.

Nominations should be made on the available nomination form, and sent as one complete PDF to sarah.schotten@easd.org, containing:

  • One Letter of Recommendation of not more than 1,000 words signed by up to three nominators. Additional letters will be disregarded.
