The European Renal Association (ERA) is an organisation for clinicians and scientists in nephrology, dialysis, renal transplantation and related areas.

The organisation publishes two scientific journals, NDT - Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation[1] and CKJ - Clinical Kidney Journal,[2] and an online newsletter, Nephrology News Flash. It has an online portal, NEP - Nephrology Education Portal, and holds an annual congress in a different European city every year in May or June.

ERA funds a registry that collects data from dialysis centres in Europe for epidemiological studies and it has a fellowship programme.

The Association has several working groups] and committees established to enhance education, science and networking within a specific area. For example, the ERACODA Working Group was founded to ensure rapid dissemination of information pertaining to COVID-19.

Until 2020, the Annual Congress was always an in-person meeting attended by approximately 7,000 delegates.[3] In 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 57th Annual Congress became fully virtual for the first time.
