Structure of EULAR organisation
EULAR is a truly pan-European organisation fostering a multitude of activities in areas of
research, patient care, and education. To manage and promote its goals effectively, EULAR has set
up a structure of committees and managerial bodies.
The General Assembly is the highest authority of EULAR. It is composed of the members of the
Executive Committee and delegates of the regular member organisations and corporate members. The
General Assembly meets once a year on the occasion of the EULAR Annual European Congress.
Over the years, the number of officers and their duties as well as the membership of the Executive
Committee have been amended to reflect the development of EULAR and its activities. The Standing
Committees define, manage and perform the various activities of EULAR. The Programme Committees are
responsible for the scientific, allied health professionals' and social leagues' programmes at the
Annual European Congress. EULAR has a permanent executive secretariat in
Kilchberg/Zurich, Switzerland.
Since 2005, EULAR has been acknowledging research units in Europe for excellence in rheumatology
research.
