The second network-wide training of the TRR219 graduate school was held in September 2018 in Aachen. The ‘hands-on training modules’ and seminars were given by principal investigators and young investigators of the TRR219 community. Especially MD students and PhD students within their first year had the opportunity to learn about the clinical challenges and multifactorial aspects of chronic kidney disease-related cardiovascular risk. The practical training provided the basis of TRR219 specific methods in order to synchronize the knowledge on the core topics of the TRR219.
