View moreThe ISPAD Science School for Physicians is an intensive annual research training program that brings together 20–25 early-career physicians and researchers from around the world in a recognized Centre of Excellence. ISPAD is proud to host this unique initiative, which is dedicated to advancing pediatric diabetes research and nurturing the next generation of leaders in the field.
The program is designed to strengthen participants’ skills in research methodology, from basic laboratory science to clinical and translational approaches. By engaging with international experts and peers, attendees not only expand their scientific knowledge but also build lifelong collaborations that drive progress in care, prevention, and the search for a cure for youth affected by diabetes worldwide.
Held independently of the Annual ISPAD Conference, the Science School for Physicians is organized each year in a different location, providing an inspiring setting for focused learning and global networking.
Attending the ISPAD Science School for Physicians 2019 in Rotterdam was an amazing experience. We learned a lot from world-renowned experts, greatly improving our research knowledge as well as clinical skills in the field of pediatric diabetes
Most importantly, new friendships were formed worldwide, and we still keep in touch today, solving difficult clinical cases together on our WhatsApp group.
We have continued collaborating within the JENIOUS group and have published multi-centered research papers. Also, as a direct result of attending the ISPAD SSP, I was invited to give lectures at international meetings and co-authored two papers published in the Pediatric Diabetes journal. I became an ISPAD Science School mentor in 2021!

Attending the ISPAD Science School for Physicians 2018 in Tokyo was an incredibly valuable opportunity to improve my research and clinical skills in the field of Diabetes, to have interesting interactions with excellent experts and to make new friendships with other young colleagues!
After the ISPAD Science School for Physicians I started a very fruitful collaboration with the members of JENIOUS group.
I can honestly say that the school was a key turning point in my career allowing me to be more and more involved in ISPAD activities and to become a JENIOUS leader.

"They say that ISPAD Science School for Physicians is a life-changing moment. I would say that attending the ISPAD Science School for Physicians 2022 in Prague was definitely the most encouraging, mind-changing moment of my life. The experts in the field of pediatric diabetes all around the world have shared their experiences with us and helped us to gain priceless knowledge as well as to make a quality baseline for our research careers.
The best part of this School was meeting young colleagues working worldwide, realizing the opportunities and challenges they face, and networking with them. As a result, we have plans for a few multicentered studies.
In the end, as a former student at the ISPAD Science School for Physicians, I would sincerely recommend it to all young people who want to improve their clinical and research skills in the field of pediatric diabetes because I am certain that they will greatly benefit from participating.”

Everything is fine except the ISS is over, but we must live with that! Once again, I want to thank you all guys but especially you and Lenka for the great hospitality and very pleasant atmosphere to work in. ISS was a centre of all good human characteristics, and I am so honored that I was part of it. Hope we will all meet as faculty one day on ISS as you all did. I am so happy that Yempabou Sagna won the prize. It will be very helpful to his patients as well as the whole country and especially to the diabetes community. Congratulations and all the best in future work! If we can somehow help, we are here.I would like to take this opportunity to thank all ISPP faculty for picking my case report for ISPAD E-learning and to congratulate Meghan and Francesco as well but also to all guys who presented,all cases were amazing. It is a great honor and pleasure for me and for my whole team.
