Educational Visit Programme for People with Arthritis/Rheumatism
Every year, EULAR provides a defined amount of Educational Visit Awards for EULAR member and other patient organisations in the field of arthritis/rheumatism. The grant is designed for patient organisations who wish to develop their skills (learning organisation) by learning from the experience of other organisations (teaching organisations) in this European network.
Applicants should demonstrate in their application that the educational visit award programme will bring lasting benefit to their organisation and to people with arthritis/rheumatism in their country. Preference will be given to educational visit programmes which actively involve people with arthritis/rheumatism. Preference will also be given to applications from Learning Organisations with limited resources or at an earlier stage in development.
EULAR expects recipients of an educational visit to write a report after the stay focusing on the results achieved. The report is expected to be published in a PARE newsletter.
To apply, send your complete application documents to the EULAR Secretariat at florian.klett@eular.org.
