The European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology, EULAR, is the organisation which represents the patient, health professional and scientific societies of rheumatology of all the European nations. EULAR endeavors to stimulate, promote, and support the research, prevention, treatment and rehabilitation of rheumatic diseases. In line with UEMS, EULAR defines rheumatology as including rheumatic diseases of the connective tissue, locomotor and musculoskeletal systems.

The Congress provides a critical forum for education, knowledge exchange, research innovation, networking and especially fostering friendships! We were obliged to meet in the virtual world in 2020. Similarly, we plan to offer a ‘virtual congress’ in June 2021 though we hope to bring in twists of new experience, e.g. with “EULAR Networking”. At its core, we will offer a virtual scientific and PARE programme that is outstanding – it will contain educational content that is contemporary, accessible and definitive. It will deliver research findings in the clinical, translational and basic domains that is world leading. It will provide online and in-person opportunities for networking, debate, engagement and feedback. Our faculty will represent the very best of global rheumatology.
