The European DOHaD Society (EDS) is dedicated to advancing research in the field of the developmental origins of health and disease. We aim to unite researchers across Europe to foster innovation, knowledge exchange, and interdisciplinary approaches to understand the complex interplay between early life exposures, developmental programming and long-term health outcomes. Our mission is to support and empower young researchers by providing opportunities for growth, collaboration, and mentorship. Through our commitment to excellence, inclusivity, and scientific rigor, we strive to make meaningful contributions to improving global health outcomes for current and future generations.
