EMEUNET is an exciting community that started its activities in 2009, emanating from one of the objectives set by EULAR –  "Bring onboard high quality, young generation contributors in all EULAR activities". This statement was seized upon as an opportunity to address educational needs and promote aspiring young academics' research interests by creating and developing a Europe-wide network of young rheumatologists. To achieve this, the committee organises a range of high-quality activities and programmes for its community.

EMEUNET is excited to participate in a variety of activities at the EULAR 2024 European Congress of Rheumatology . Please note that to take part in any EMEUNET activities at the congress, you must first register to #EULAR2024. Click the button below to learn more and register today.

EULAR 2024 - Mentoring for first or second-time EULAR Congress attendees 

Are you attending the EULAR Congress for the first time? If so, it can be a daunting experience. With over 14,000 attendees, including clinicians, scientists, patients and more, discussing a wide range of topics from clinical management to new scientific findings, it's easy to feel overwhelmed. The Congress runs an overwhelming number of sessions that start early in the morning and end late in the evening. However, there is a tradition of senior attendees sharing their skills on how to survive the annual EULAR Congress, so you can get a taste of everything and not miss out on the essential facts while having a great time. But how can you navigate countless opportunities within four days? 

To help first or second-time attendees make the most of their time, we are offering mentorship from EULAR veterans. We invite 30 fellows to participate in this program, which will provide guidance on how to navigate the Congress and ensure you have a great experience.

Deadline: 01 May, 2024
