The conference is a joint venture of the Renal Pathology Society, the Department of Transplantation Medicine, Nephrology and Internal Diseases of the Medical University of Warsaw, and the Nephropathological Working Group operating within the European Society of Pathology.

The conference is co-financed by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of Poland as part of the “Excellent Science” project.

ERA-EDTA’s endorsement is for the promotion of education in general, therefore the specific content of the event/course is the responsibility of the organizer
Renowned specialists in 32 lectures will present the current state of knowledge on pathophysiology, clinical picture, microscopic image and molecular diagnosis of kidney diseases, including transplanted kidneys.
We also invite attendees to submit an abstracts of their research in a field of renal diseases, as well as interesting case reports. The most interesting ones will be selected for presentation, and the best posters will be awarded, which will be announced during the conference
All registrants are entitled to:
- full access to streaming LIVE from the conference studio in Warsaw
- unlimited access to the conference recording, on-demand for the period of 6 months
- interaction with speakers via on-line chat (Q&A sessions)
