Dear Colleague,
The ERA-EDTA Young Fellowship Programme
is going to soon be opened for submissions: the
next Call deadline is scheduled for February 1st,
2015.
The Young Fellowship Programme offers an opportunity
to young investigators and clinicians to increase
their contribution towards the development of
Nephrology, Dialysis and Transplantation in their
home countries as well as to increase the exchange
among European Nephrology Centres.
From 2006 until now, 81 Short Term Fellowships (STF)
and 88 Long Term Fellowships (LTF) have been
granted.
The applicants
can ask to perform the ERA-EDTA fellowship in any
Centre within the ERA-EDTA geographical Area (*).
