ABOUT THE EVENT
It is our great pleasure that we can invite you on behalf of the Organizing and Scientific Committee to the 7th Slovenian Congress of Nephrology. Due to the extraordinary dimensions of the second wave of the SARS-CoV-2 epidemic in the fall of 2020 in Slovenia, we have postponed the Congress to March 11th to14th, 2021. Also in the new term, the Congress will be held in virtual form.
The Scientific Committee has prepared an interesting program including lectures by renowned domestic and foreign experts, free topics and poster presentations in the field of clinical nephrology, arterial hypertension, hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis and kidney. With increasingly intensive research activity, the congress will once again be a good opportunity to present our own research work.
We hope that you will join us at the meeting, where we will be able to share practical experiences about everyday clinical work.
