Operated by Ideg Diabetes

Join us at the Bangkok International Trade & Exhibition Centre: BITEC for a 2.5 day symposium (+ 1 day Trainee workshop) filled with insightful discussions, networking opportunities, and learning from diabetes experts. ​ The International Diabetes Epidemiology Group (IDEG) was founded in 1979 in response to the recognition of the growing impact of the diabetes epidemic. The mission of IDEG is to forge collaboration and exchange ideas and data on the epidemiology of diabetes to better understand and explore its causes and consequences. To this end, the primary activity of the IDEG is a symposium held every two to three years as a satellite to the World Diabetes Congress (WDC) held by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF). This symposium serves as a platform to foster collaboration among researchers and practitioners in diabetes epidemiology worldwide. ​ In April 2025, IDEG will hold its 18th Symposium in Bangkok, Thailand. A one-day epidemiology training course targeted at trainees and young researchers will also take place prior to the symposium. Details will be provided closer to the meeting date. The current president of the IDEG is Dr Lorraine Lipscombe. are encouraged to attend!
