Welcome Address
It is my great pleasure and honour to invite you to join the 54th EASD Annual Meeting 2018 in Berlin, Germany.
With its University Hospital Charité, Berlin has a long-standing tradition of more than 300 years in medical research. Rudolf Virchow, the founder of modern pathology, was the prototype of a researcher accomplishing a close interaction between social politics and molecular research which is nowadays still critical for establishing a successful treatment and prevention of complex disorders such as diabetes mellitus. The EASD Annual Meeting promises to offer exciting insights into the most recent research findings in all aspects of diabetology.
Berlin mirrors the most important recent political developments in the western world which have transformed it into a truly international city with extraordinary architecture, uniting historical buildings with contemporary design. Berlin’s vivid, young and experimental spirit has attracted an active art scene.
The Annual Meeting will take place at the Messe Berlin Exhibition Halls in Berlin-Charlottenburg which are easily accessible by public transport. It will commence with the Opening Ceremony on the morning of Tuesday, 2 October. The meeting will end on Friday, 5 October with the Closing Ceremony followed by the Farewell Reception. I look forward to welcoming you to Berlin where you will have the opportunity to enjoy an exciting scientific conference in a rich cultural and historical setting.
Prof. Joachim Spranger
Chairman, Local Organising Committee for EASD 2018

The Programme Committee has the right to remove an abstract if this contains data that has already been published. However, EASD accepts the submission of abstracts that have been presented in recent months at local or national diabetes meetings (e.g. ADA, DDG). An author submitting or presenting work that has been published in a journal before the EASD Abstract submission deadline (4 April 2018, 23:59hrs CEST) will be banned from presenting data at the EASD Meetings for three years.
Abstracts submitted on Human Studies:
The box must be marked stating that the study has been reviewed by the Local Ethics Committee and that it has therefore been performed in accordance with the ethical standards laid down in the Helsinki Declaration (see World Medical Association: www.wma.net).
Abstracts submitted on Animal Studies:
The box must be marked stating that the study has been carried out along the “Principles of laboratory animal care” (NIH Publication no. 85-23, revised 1985) and according to the national law, if applicable.
Selection of abstracts for the Scientific Programme is made anonymously. THE ABSTRACT MUST BE SUBMITTED as follows:
Each author can be listed ONLY ONCE as the PRESENTING author (presenting author is always the first named author in the author block) on ONE (1) abstract. Each additional abstract will be removed from the system and will not be forwarded to the Review Committee. Additional abstracts will not be reviewed. Presenting authors may be co-authors of other abstracts. It is mandatory that the presenting author of any abstract accepted for presentation attends the 54th EASD Annual Meeting 2018 to present his / her paper. Failure to do so, without prior or adequate explanation sent to the EASD Office by e-mail, may result in the author or the institution being banned from presenting abstracts for the next three years.
Abstracts are welcome from non-members of EASD. Please refer to the Registration section of this General Information, regarding the date by which authors must become members of EASD in order to qualify for preferential registration fees. These regulations will be strictly enforced.

All this is possible until the Abstract Submission Deadline: 4 April 2018 23:59 hrs CEST.
