As the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) enters a new chapter, this interview brings together outgoing President Chantal Mathieu and incoming President Francesco Giorgino in a joint conversation moderated by Stefano Del Prato.

Together, they reflect on key achievements of the past years, discuss the evolving role of EASD in advancing diabetes research and knowledge exchange, and share their perspectives on the challenges and opportunities ahead. The discussion also offers personal insights into leadership, collaboration, and continuity within the Association. And yes… they even talk about rose gardening and snorkeling and whether stepping down really means slowing down.

This conversation marks a seamless transition in EASD leadership and highlights a shared commitment to supporting diabetes research, fostering scientific collaboration, and translating knowledge into impact for the global diabetes community.
