Support for travel and accommodation expenses of up to DM 2.500 will be provided. The application (max. 3 pages) should include: curriculum vitae; description of main clinical and scientific activities, fields of major interest for training (clinical nephrology, hypertension, uraemic bone disease, immunotherapy, haemo/peritoneal dialysis, transplantation). Knowledge of English or German language is a prerequisite. Applications should be sent to: Kuratorium der Gesellschaft für Nephrologie, c/o Prof. Dr C.

(DDnÄ: the German Society of nephrologists in private practices) wishes to announce the Bernd Tersteegen Award of 2002. Sponsored by Hoffmann La Roche AG (Grenzach‐Wyhlen/Germany) there is an annual award of 15 000 DM for the winning entry. The award may be shared, but will normally be focused upon one successful applicant. The award is open to physicians in laboratories, scientists or graduate engineers. Applicants could be engaged in any of the following: kidney failure and renal therapy in the clinic, surgery or research. Only original scientific articles either published between 2001 and 2002 or as yet still unpublished are acceptable and should be written in German or English. Wholly unacceptable are reviews, dissertations, university lecturing qualification papers and work already entered in other competitions. If the work participation be plural, the group should be represented by one speaker. However, all pertinent participants should be listed.

V. Bonventre (Massachusetts, USA), M. E. De Broe (Antwerp, Belgium), H. Haller ( Hannover, Germany) and B. A. Molitoris ( Indianapolis, USA). The idea is to bring together experts in the field of ischaemia/ reperfusion, not limited to the kidney. Moreover, we intend to create a discussion forum dealing with the latest insights in particular physiopathological mechanisms playing a role in ischaemia/reperfusion. Experts in these basic mechanisms will be invited. Applications of these concepts to several organs (kidney, heart, liver, brain, …) will be discussed. Some travel grants for young scientists, who submit abstracts for the poster session are available. This initiative will be preceded on Thursday 19 September 2002 by a postgraduate course supported by the European Kidney Research Association ( EKRA).
