The ZKC Annual Meeting brings together nephrologists and specialists working on the kidney from various hospitals and universities in Switzerland and abroad. There is a mix of internal and external speakers covering the topics of basic research, translational kidney research and the diagnosis and treatment of kidney diseases. An important part of the event is the poster exhibition, where young scientists have the opportunity to present their research results. The purpose of the network meeting is to get to know each other, exchange ideas, catch up on the latest developments and develop projects and visions together.
