Dear colleagues,

On behalf of the organizing committee, I am delighted to welcome you to the CEDA 2026 congress in Düsseldorf.

The conference will take place at the German Diabetes Center (DDZ), where translational and clinical diabetes research have always worked closely together. Discussing the latest research findings and their impact on the clinical practice is the overarching goal  of this congress. We expect an intensive exchange between experts and next generation scientists and clinicians from Central, Eastern, and Southern Europe. Thus, you can look forward to an exciting scientific program that addresses among other topics: diabetes and heart, liver and kidney diseases, precision diabetology, nutrition and lifestyle, to name just a few.

With its central location, lively cultural and fashion scene, as well as excellent gastronomy, Düsseldorf, the state capital of North Rhine-Westphalia, also offers the ideal setting for sightseeing, networking and making new friends!

So, I would like to cordially invite you to join us for CEDA 2026.

With best regards

Prof. Dr. Michael Roden
Congress President CEDA 2026
