Announcement: 41st EDTNA/ERCA International Conference 2012
As you know, the 41st International EDTNA/ERCA Conference scheduled for
September 2012 was due to be held in Athens, Greece. Our Association was
looking forward to returning to a country where we have many enthusiastic
members, colleagues and volunteers.
Unfortunately, due to the current economical and political circumstances
in Greece, we have been forced to postpone Athens as our Conference city
and find another location for 2012.
Strasbourg, France, was chosen to replace Athens as the new Conference
venue. The dates of the Conference are the same as previously: September
15th - 18th 2012.
The Conference theme reflects one of the Association´s main
objectives: "Global Advances in Renal Care: Economic and Quality Impact of Disease
Management"
We hereby invite you to join us for the Conference in the cosmopolitan
city of Strasbourg with its beautiful canals, historical city centre and
the European Parliament situated within walking distance of the
Conference Centre. Please note that the abstract submission date has been
prolonged until February 29th, 2012.
EDTNA/ERCA is looking forward to seeing you in Strasbourg. www.edtna-erca-conference2012.com
