N1 - Funding Information: The Symposium included invited lectures as well as forums on growth hormone and IGF-1 physiology, hormonal regulation of weight, growth plate metabolism, bone cell biology and bone structure, prenatal programming, small gestational age infants, and the implications of these issues for chronic renal failure, primary tubular disorders, and renal transplantation. Twenty-two short oral communications were presented within the forums. The Symposium facilitated interaction among speakers and the audience’s participation by providing a friendly and informal environment and leaving enough time in each session for questions and comments. Despite the marked current limitation of pharmaceutical industry support, the global economic crisis, and the threat of the H1N1 flu pandemic, 38 speakers and moderators and almost 100 registered participants from all over the world attended and actively took part in the conference. Seven young attendees were supported by fellowships granted by the USA National Institutes of Health (NIH) and two more by fellowships of the European Renal Association-European Dialysis and Transplantation Association (ERA-EDTA), which also provided financial support for the Symposium. In agreement with its educational projection, the Symposium was accredited with 2.9 credits by the Continuing Medical Education Commission of the Spanish System of Health. Funding Information: The Symposium was an official event of the International Pediatric Nephrology Association (IPNA). On behalf of the IPNA, the four co-chairmen of the Symposium would like to acknowledge the major support from the Municipality of Oviedo, the Government of the Principality of Asturias, and the Auditorium Prince Phillip of Oviedo as well as the contribution of the University of Oviedo, the NIH, the ERA-EDTA, and the Spanish Association of Pediatric Nephrology. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to Novo Nordisk and Amgen for their major financial support and thank CAPSA, Ordesa, Nutricia-Milupa, GlaxoSmithKline, Ferring, Genzyme, BBVA, Orphan Europe, Fresenius Medical Care, Abbott, Mead Johnson, and Nestle for their financial help.
