What EULAR does
The aims of EULAR are to reduce the burden of rheumatic diseases on the individual and society and to improve the treatment, prevention and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal diseases. To this end, EULAR fosters excellence in education and research in the field of rheumatology. It promotes the translation of research advances into daily care and fights for the recognition of the needs of people with rheumatic diseases.
Specifically, EULAR supports research projects in rheumatology by funding collaborative research between European rheumatology groups and more recently also across the Atlantic. Education and training is another key area of commitment for EULAR. The annual congress of rheumatology is the highlight event in the EULAR calendar each year.
At the European political level, EULAR represents the interests of the entire rheumatic disease community and is the natural partner of European policy makers when policies and regulatory frameworks are developed. Collaboration with international organisations as well as the American College of Rheumatology and the regional leagues of rheumatology associations is a continued and expanding effort of EULAR.

EULAR Standing Committees
The heart of EULAR's work and achievements are the standing committees, the organisational bodies appointed by the Executive Committee to develop, propose, and implement EULAR projects and activities. A chairman directs and supervises the committee's programme and activities. He or she regularly reports to the Executive Committee and presents new project proposals for discussion and approval. Project "task forces" are designed to include the best experts in the field and to reflect the geographic diversity of EULAR on a European level and beyond.
