New initiatives

Have a good start with QiGong Classes

QiGong is a 4000-year-old branch of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to prevent diseases. It combines gentle breathing and flowing movements with mindfulness and meditation. It strengthens the body for healing and it’s great exercise, fun to do, leaving you feeling refreshed, replenished, peaceful and calm. You do not need to bring any mats nor special clothes, just bring yourself!

The classes will be held by professional teachers from June 15 to June 18 at 7.30 am at CityLife Park (in front of MiCo). Let’s meet every morning to take care of our well-being.

How to participate

QiGong Classes are offered for free, but please do not forget to register to this initiative by sending an e-mail to secretariat@era-online.org.

“Amazing Nephrologists” - ERA Member Art Gallery

Are you a talented artist? Do you like painting, drawing or taking pictures? Then we have good news for you!

At ERA23, we will celebrate the 60th anniversary of our Association and we want to offer a special ‘art’ space to thank our Members, who have been yearly supporting ERA’s mission and vision.

We are an amazing Community, we cover different cultures, languages, lifestyles, but art is a universal and cross-cultural language. It’s a common ground.

Therefore, all ERA Members are invited to join this initiative and take advantage of the opportunity to showcase their artwork in our new Art Gallery within the Congress venue.

Kindly note that only ERA Members can participate. Submission is free of charge.

We do not take any responsibility for damages that might occur nor for works left on the wall after the end of the Congress. Please remember to recollect your work by June 18, 2023 at the latest, since we will not be able to ship artworks to your personal address. All the works that will be left at the Congress will automatically be donated to local hospitals or to the ERA HQ.

How to participate

  • Send an e-mail to secretariat@era-online.org to reserve your personal space – please explain what kind of work you would like to display at the Congress (paintings, pictures, drawings will be suitable).
  • Bring your personal work to the ERA Congress in Milan and hang it on the Art Gallery wall with the help of our staff.
  • At the end of the Congress, please remember to recollect your artwork – if you wish, you can donate it to the ERA HQ or to local institutions/hospitals.
