ERA Awards for Young Investigators

The Awardees will receive the “ERA Awards for Young Investigators”, named after one of the three Nephrology Masters, which consists of a prize of EUR 10,000.00. Furthermore, the winners will also be invited guests to the next 61st ERA Congress (Stockholm and Virtual, May 23-26, 2024). They will receive free accommodation, travel and congress registration.
