Mission & Goals
With more than 30,000 members, the ERA (“European Renal Association”) is the biggest nephrology association worldwide and one of the most important and prestigious European Medical Associations. It supports basic and clinical research in the fields of clinical nephrology, dialysis, renal transplantation and related subjects.
