EULAR Research Committee
The EULAR Research Committee serves as the focal point for rheumatology research in Europe and is the conduit for international research collaborations and interactions with the larger rheumatology research community around the world.
The committee does this by setting research priorities in the field of RMDs, promoting and facilitating research in rheumatology, and coordinating of the work of the Sub-Committees (basic and translational research, clinical research, public health and epidemiology).
