In 1999, the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) increased its commitment to stimulate diabetes research in Europe by creating the European Foundation for the Study of Diabetes (EFSD). The Foundation is closely related to the EASD; it is governed exclusively by the Executive Committee of the EASD, which itself is under the close supervision of the EASD Council and the General Assembly of the EASD. EFSD operates on a strictly non-profit basis under the control of the relevant authorities for charity and taxation in order to support diabetes research. The EASD, as an academic non-profit association, benefits from the possibilities offered by the legal status of its Foundation to advance diabetes research by various methods.

Since its inception, EFSD has committed

 Euro 88 million

to diabetes research in Europe by various funding means. In the last five years, the Foundation has become a significant European funding agency for diabetes research, and is continually striving to enhance awareness in Europe of the severity and magnitude of this devastating disease.

Thanks to the generosity of the funding partners, EFSD is running an increasing number of partnership programmes. Applications are welcome from researchers working in Europe and associated countries. These will be subject to peer review by a panel of leading experts in the field, based on scientific merit.

Further information on EFSD programmes is available under Request for Applications and Deadlines.
