Abstract

The prevalence of colleagues aged < 40 years account for the 21% of the European Renal Association (ERA-EDTA) members in 2013. Recently, the ERA-EDTA has launched a new platform, the Young Nephrologists’ Platform (YNP), whose ambitious aim is to become the first modern network of young nephrologists from Europe and beyond. Among new initiatives driven be the YNP we can find mentorship program, young-oriented clinical courses on hot topics and involvement of young nephrologists in working groups and scientific project. The future of Polish and European nephrology belongs to the young and YNP might be the right and fast track for the professional growth of young nephrologists.
