Abstract

Since its foundation in 1960, the International Society of Nephrology (ISN) has pursued the worldwide advancement of education, science and patient care in nephrology. This goal was achieved by means of the Society's journal and the organization of international congresses and symposia. In order to better reach its colleagues and patients in economically less developed countries, the ISN expanded its activities as of 1980 by a large number of specific programs aimed at these regions.

The 2000 CD-ROM will tentatively contain interviews with Drs. Legrain, Migone, Pirani, Richet, Seldin, McGeown, Churg, Joekes, Dossetor, Robinson and Schreiner.
