General Information
ISN’s biennial World Congresses of Nephrology (WCN) are premiere educational events in nephrology that rotate between the continents and are organized in collaboration with local and regional nephrology societies. The congress is targeted to the international nephrology community as well as other healthcare professionals involved in multidisciplinary nephrology care; thus enabling professionals from all parts of the world to exchange views on a wide variety of topics affecting nephrology and those suffering from kidney disease around the world.
The main objectives of the World Congresses of Nephrology are to:
- Advance the education of physicians and other professionals in the care of patients with renal disease.
- Support the development of clinical research.
- Facilitate the delivery of high-quality healthcare to patients with kidney disease.
Provide a forum to present new ideas and treatments for kidney disease. - Enable scientists and physicians to interchange experiences and formulate new medical strategies.
- Address global and ethical dilemmas facing the specialty
By bringing together practicing physicians, academics, scientists, international health authorities and clinical researchers, each Congress offers a unique global forum for a free exchange of science and medical strategy.
Currently the Society, through a dedicated WCN Future review Committee, is conducting a strategic review of its World Congresses in order to better respond to the evolving requirements of its members and the changed meeting climate in general. It is expected that as of 2011 the WCN will have a more dynamic and modern format
