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.
