ISPD 2014 - The 15th Congress of the international Society for Peritoneal Dialysis

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, it is a great pleasure to invite you to the 15th Congress of ISPD, which will be held in Madrid, Spain, from September 7th to 10th, 2014.
During the past years the increasing number of participants confirmed that the field of peritoneal dialysis is flourishing and increasingly contributing to cutting edge research in nephrology. In particular ISPD as a society is growing and expanding. More young physicians and scientists are joining the community, bringing fresh enthusiasm and new ideas, from many parts of the world!
The 15th Congress of ISPD will be an excellent opportunity to realize the changes in the field and to envision new perspectives for basic and clinical research. The ground breaking translational program will draw together experts from all over the world and will encompass innovations in diagnosis, advances in clinical practice, novel therapeutic approaches, and new insights into cellular and animal models. In addition, specific educational sessions, covering a basic knowledge will be available to encourage the participation of ISPD junior members.
Spain and Portugal are European countries involved in the field of peritoneal dialysis and the Group of Peritoneal Studies from Madrid (IRSIN, REDinREN, Hospitals La Paz and La Princesa) and Hospital San Antonio, from Porto are two of the leading research groups in peritoneal pathophysiology and peritoneal function. Besides, the city of Madrid with its historical background and long-standing tradition is a cosmopolitan and stimulating place able to inspire and entertain scientists from around the world.
Thus, we are confident that the enchanted charm of our city will be a trend setter for the future of peritoneal dialysis!
We hope you will join us for a symphony of outstanding science and take a little extra time to enjoy the beauty of Madrid!
We look forward to meeting you!
With our best wishes,
The Organizing Committee
