The annual Scientific Fall Symposium of the Dutch federation of Nephrology will be organized this year on Friday October 7th 2016 in conference center De Werelt in Lunteren( ~10.00 to ~17.00 hours).
In parallel with the NfN Scientific Fall Symposium, the Dutch Association of renal patients (NVN) and “Niernieuws.nl” will organize their own program at the same location in which research topics will be presented in layman language to renal patients and others interested in this topic. In this context, a joint opening and closing session will be held with topics including patient participation in scientific research and the NVN science agenda.
The NfN Scientific Fall Symposium covers all aspects of experimental, clinical and epidemiological research in the field of Nephrology.
The scientific board of the Dutch federation of Nephrology cordially invites scientists to submit abstracts by sending an E-mail with a Word file attached to: najaarsvergadering2016@gmail.com
