Stene Prize
Every year EULAR and the Standing Committee for PARE offer the Edgar Stene Prize for the best essay on a previously determined topic. The Stene Prize is EUR 2,000 and includes travel to the Annual EULAR Congress of that year with hotel accommodation for up to four nights as well as an invitation to attend the Opening Ceremony and the Gala Dinner at the congress.
The EULAR member organisations of PARE invite all rheumatic patients in their countries to participate in the competition by writing and submitting an essay on the topic of the year. Essays may be written in English, French or German and should not exceed two typewritten pages. Persons who are professionally connected with rheumatology are excluded from the competition.
The best entry from each country will be submitted for the final decision made by the jury elected by the Standing Committee for People with Arthritis/Rheumatism in Europe.
