ERA-EDTA ENDORSED WORKING GROUPS

   
The ERA-EDTA establishes ERA-EDTA ENDORSED WORKING GROUPS.
     
This endorsement is given to existing Working Groups of other Societies/Associations that have similar objectives to ERA-EDTA.
    
The ERA-EDTA will establish a working relationship with the existing WG provided that representation within the core group of the WG for ERA-EDTA is given.
    
If ERA-EDTA will allocate funding to the WG this must be for specific matters and must be annually approved by the Council.
    
All Endorsed WGs must be mentioned in this appendix with a brief summary of the mutual benefits.
