Eat, Sleep, Repeat: Circadian Rhythms at the Interface of Endocrinology and the Brain

During this half-day networking event, you will have the opportunity to meet and mingle with other like-minded researchers.

The day will start with a networking lunch and will continue with three scientific sessions where we will dive into:

• the role of circadian rhythms in obesity and cardiometabolic disease
• brain function and stress
• circadian rhythms in pregnancy

And much more.

We will end the day with a poster session and networking, where you will have the opportunity to present a poster for your fellow participants and discuss your research with experts in the field.

We aim to foster an environment, where we can initiate and facilitate collaboration across disciplines. An environment, where you leave the day having gained inspiration for new projects and feel empowered to reach out to new collaborators.

Join us for an inspiring day in Copenhagen!

This event is organised by the Danish Diabetes and Endocrine Academy (DDEA) and Neuroscience Academy Denmark.
