2019 Annual Report by the ERA-EDTA Officers on behalf of the Council
The officers of the European Renal Association – European Dialysis and Transplant Association (ERA-EDTA) (Carmine Zoccali, President; Ivan Rychlik, Secretary- Treasurer; Danilo Fliser, Renal Science Chair/Chairman of the Administrative Offices; Ziad Massy, Clinical Nephrology Governance Chair/Chair of the Registry and Denis Fouque, Editor-in-Chief of NDT - “Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation”) together with the entire ERA-EDTA Council are very pleased to present this report on the activities of our Society, essentially regarding the past year (2019). We are very pleased to confirm that during the last year all the ERA-EDTA activities have been very successful and active, furthermore 2019 was yet another good year also for the financial consolidation of the Society.
Governance is another important matter that Council has actively addressed in 2019 and, after many years, with the essential contribution of the Association’s lawyers, a new Constitution was presented and approved for the 1st time, by the General Assembly: this new Constitution is totally compliant with all current Charity laws and more effective for the current needs of the Association. The Association also optimized its accountancy system by outsourcing it to professionals: the result is an immediate savings for the Charity, while having an excellent and professional service.
Still in 2019 a new initiative was launched, the SEID (Scientific and Educational Interaction Day): a competitive call for the programme was made among all ERA-EDTA Committees and Working Groups and an exciting programme was created after a careful evaluation by the SAB (Scientific Advisory Board), furthermore important brainstorming sessions were held among the various ERA-EDTA Committees and Working Groups to encourage common projects and optimize efforts both for scientific as well as educational proposals. In 2019 the first long term fellowship was granted to a project proposed by a Working Group thus starting a new kind of investment by the Association in research. Finally, ERA-EDTA launched its new web-site in June of 2019 in order to modernize its look but also so that it can be more efficient in the delivery of its message and educational offers: the aim is to make it “simple and easy”, we are working hard in this direction.
