The first Scientific and Educational Interaction Day will be held on October 26, 2019 in Vienna (Austria). This event is designed to be a day of succinct sessions focusing on clinical issues related to systemic diseases which affect the kidney (from prevention to diagnosis). Part of the meeting is devoted to vascular access including a practical session involving demonstrations of ultrasound scanning and fistula imaging on real patients. Participants will have a chance to practise imaging under the supervision and guidance of experts.

Do not miss the Satellite ‘New Drugs in Kidney Disease’ which is preceding the SEID on October 25. In this half-day symposium key European speakers will contribute in the sessions providing updates on recent studies related to the treatment of anaemia, hyperkalaemia and diabetes in CKD.

To facilitate the participation of young ERA-EDTA members (cat. A and B) the ERA-EDTA offers up to EUR 30,000.00 in Travel Grants.
