Surveys are set up and circulated by the ERKNet Central Office via the ERKNet member mailing list.

So far, 37 surveys have been completed.
๐Ÿ”น 14 have already resulted in publications
๐Ÿ”น 13 are currently in data analysis and manuscript preparation
๐Ÿ”น 12 are actively open and collecting data

All projects are approved by Working Group Chairs in line with our SOP. Several have been endorsed by ESPN - European Society for Paediatric Nephrology and European Renal Association (ERA), underlining their scientific relevance and impact.

Keep an eye out for new surveys and opportunities to participate ๐Ÿ‘€
