New initiatives

QiGong is a 4000-year-old branch of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to prevent diseases. It combines gentle breathing and flowing movements with mindfulness and meditation. It strengthens the body for healing and it’s great exercise, fun to do, leaving you feeling refreshed, replenished, peaceful and calm. You do not need to bring any mats nor special clothes, just bring yourself!

The classes will be held by professional teachers from June 15 to June 18 at 7.30 am at CityLife Park (in front of MiCo). Let’s meet every morning to take care of our well-being.

Come and enjoy a new dedicated space to relax and connect with other amazing nephrologists of the ERA Community.

Grab a coffee, take a break and relax in the seating areas of the lounge.

You can also strike a pose for a professional portrait by our photographer: your career is important to us.

The Members’ Networking Lounge will be placed on Level 2, in the Gold View Lounge. Exclusive access to all ERA Members. See you there!

Are you a talented artist? Do you like painting, drawing or taking pictures? Then we have good news for you!

At ERA23, we will celebrate the 60^th anniversary of our Association and we want to offer a special ‘art’ space to thank our Members, who have been yearly supporting ERA’s mission and vision.

We are an amazing Community, we cover different cultures, languages, lifestyles, but art is a universal and cross-cultural language. It’s a common ground.

Therefore, all ERA Members are invited to join this initiative and take advantage of the opportunity to showcase their artwork in our new Art Gallery within the Congress venue.

Kindly note that only ERA Members can participate. Submission is free of charge.

We do not take any responsibility for damages that might occur nor for works left on the wall after the end of the Congress. Please remember to recollect your work by June 18, 2023 at the latest, since we will not be able to ship artworks to your personal address. All the works that will be left at the Congress will automatically be donated to local hospitals or to the ERA HQ.
