Workshops
The International Diabetes Federation organized six workshops in 2008 (one per IDF region) dedicated to translational research in diabetes. The aim of the workshops was to help potential "applicants" to BRIDGES, and other funding programmes linked to translational research, to develop their skills in methodology, study design, and other relevant elements.
Each Workshop lasted for one day, and the number of participants was limited to 15 people per workshop. The workshops were free of charge.
