The aims of the Country Liaison Sub-committee are:
- To promote and distribute EMEUNET / EULAR information
Reach and attract young rheumatologists and/or researchers (trainees and specialists included, <40 years of age) in every country to become members and to participate in EMEUNET/ EULAR activities.
For this, we support and work closely with the country liaisons, on whom we rely to: - Disseminate information prepared by EMEUNET (e.g. newsletters, courses, job opportunities, surveys, etc.) to the young rheumatologists and researchers in rheumatology within their countries.
- Perform and report back on national activities meant to increase the visibility and adherence to EMEUNET within their countries.
- Keep in touch and give feedback / suggestions.
- To encourage and support the country liaisons and keep the Country Liaison network active
Our sub-committee actively promotes EMEUNET at a national level: visibility at national meetings, comprehensive and updated email lists, etc. For this, we send out periodic reminders and materials, organize regular TC, and are always available for queries. - To prepare and update EMEUNET advertising materials
We have designed a collection of EMEUNET advertising material in a ready-to-use kit serving as resources for the activity of the Country Liaisons. These materials include a slide deck, a number of flyers and posters, etc. - To increase the visibility of the Country Liaisons and their actions
Each year, we host the Country Liaison meeting during the EULAR Congress, exclusively tailored for Country Liaisons. Our sub-committee oversees the Country Liaison Newsletter in conjunction with the Newsletter Sub-committee. Additionally, we provide routine updates on the activities of Country Liaisons across EMEUNET's social media platforms, in partnership with the Social Media Sub-committee.
