The renal theme participated last August for the first time with a new course in the Radboud Summer School.

The renal theme participated last August for the first time with a new course in the Radboud Summer School. We welcomed 23 participants from 11 countries. Enthusiastic researchers and clinicians from several groups within the renal theme contributed to a very successful week of lectures, demonstrations, hands-on activities, interactive sessions, and workshops. The participants were challenged to prepared a presentation about one of the four topics involved: Glomerular diseases, Tubular disorders, Ciliopathies and Replacement therapies.
 
And this summer, from August 6 – 11, the second edition of the course will be organised. We hope for a similar success in number of participants, enthusiasm and teachers to achieve an effective outreach by the renal theme. You can contribute to this success by promoting and advertising the summer school course “The ins and outs of kidneys: From physiomics to transplantation” within your national and international network.
