Young Nephrologists’ Platform

Are you interested in being a speaker at the ERA Annual Congress or an exchange speaker at other important and international congresses?

Submit your candidature to the new YNP speaker database!

Would you like to experience reviewing articles as a YNP member?

Taking part in this initiative can open other opportunities including reviewing and scoring annual congress abstracts.

To encourage active YNP members to submit abstracts to the ERA congresses and publish in ERA journals (NDT, CKJ), the ERA Council accepted a merit-based free ERA Congress membership programme.
There are two tracks: the first is based on abstracts accepted at an ERA Congress; the second requires an accepted original or review publication in NDT or CKJ. Please note that for the paper track, these regulations are valid starting immediately. For the abstract track, these regulations apply to submissions for the ERA26 Congress onwards.
Abstracts submitted for the ERA25 Congress still fall under the Free Membership Regulations. This means the top 30 abstract authors for oral presentation at the ERA Congress will automatically receive one-year free membership, subject to the Paper Selection Committee's review. Applicants must have indicated their interest in this program when submitting their abstract.

This programme aims to support young professionals to improve and build a successful career in Nephrology. It consists of an exchange of experiences between the participants. The mentee is a developing junior professional or trainee and is paired with a mentor, a senior professional who has experience in the area that the mentee is interested in.

Both the mentor and the mentee should be ERA members, and the mentee should also be a member of the YNP.

The applications as Mentees are closed.
