Endocrine functions of the bone and their potential contributions to systemic CKD complications
SAB – Scientific Advisory Board
About us
The aim of the SAB is to advise the ERA Council to achieve its scientific goals and improve nephrology research.
The main SAB responsibilities are:
- To enhance the integration of existing kidney research in Europe (countries bordering Europe and the Mediterranean Sea) into the ERA, in particular, basic research (e.g.: physiology, biochemistry, immunology, molecular and cell biology), to advance all fields of nephrology;
- To explore the ways to promote translational research in nephrology by strengthening the collaboration between basic and clinical scientists;
- To explore avenues of collaboration with existing research bodies (e.g.: European Community, EKHA, and other international medical Societies);
- To identify potential research collaborations in fields related to nephrology (e.g.: hypertension, diabetes, kidney cancer, nephrolithiasis, and transplant immunology);
- To contribute to the development and continuity of the scientific programme in the annual Congress.
Furthermore, the SAB is involved in several evaluations and selection processes: ERA Awardees; projects and fellows in the ERA Fellowship programme; feasibility and possible outcomes of surveys run on behalf of the ERA; research projects run on behalf of or with the support of the ERA; activities of the ERA Working Groups.
