General Information
In 2010, coinciding with the Presidency of Professor Bernardo Rodriguez-Iturbe, the ISN will celebrate its 50th anniversary. The ISN was created in 1960 following the 1st International Congress of Nephrology held that year in Geneva (Switzerland) and Evian-les-Bains (France), in large part as a result of the vision of Professor Jean Hamburger, who became the ISN’s Founder and first President.
In order to plan appropriately for this celebratory year a ‘2010 Task Force’ has been tasked with developing a comprehensive plan for events, projects and activities to take place throughout 2010 that will celebrate the achievements of both the ISN as a society and the development of the field of nephrology over the past half century. One of the highlights of the anniversary year will be a scientific meeting inspired by themes from the 1960 congress, reflecting on the past and looking into the future.
