2008 Conference Information
6th Congress of the IAHN
2-4 October, 2008 Giardini Naxos 
(Sicily, Italy)

The sixth Congress of the International Association for the History of Nephrology will be held from Thursday, October 2nd through Saturday, October 4th, 2008 in Giardini Naxos (Sicily, Italy) at the Russott Hotel.

The Congress will focus on the transfer of knowledge through time (4th to 19th centuries) in the field of diseases of the kidney that led to the emergence of nephrology. Topics include: how information was transmitted; how new concepts, theories and methods were proposed and transmitted, and accepted or rejected; what factors favored transmission and exchanges; the role of publications, translations, and sometimes plagiarism; and the differential development of selected subjects in different geographical locations.

Each paper will be allotted 20 minutes for presentation and 5 minutes for questions, comments and discussion.

Inquiries about registration, accommodations and logistics should be sent to:
