Young Nephrologists’ Platform

About us

The Young Nephrologists’ Platform (YNP) is a network for all nephrologists who are 40 years of age or younger. YNP is an essential part of the community of ERA members. It aims to engage a young community of members in several initiatives addressed to young nephrologists.

We want to empower the new generations of nephrologists facilitating collaboration and being part of their professional and career development.

Join YNP and make this community grow!

Collaboration with NDT & CKJ

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.

Free membership

To encourage young nephrologists to submit abstracts to the ERA congresses and publish in ERA journals (NDT, CKJ), the ERA Council accepted a merit-based free-membership programme.

There are two tracks: the first is based on abstracts accepted at an ERA congress; the second requires an original or review publication accepted in NDT or CKJ in the current or past year.

YNP Mentorship Programme

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. Mentors and mentees can apply for the ERA YNP Mentorship Programme year-round.

The applications for 2023 are closed.
ERA National Society Grant
