We are delighted to invite you to the annual EMEUNET Country Liaisons Meeting at the EULAR 2024 Congress. This dedicated forum is a cornerstone for our Country Liaisons, providing a unique opportunity to explore new initiatives, address any challenges faced in your activities, and network with your peers.

Event Details:

This meeting is an invaluable occasion to contribute to the continuous growth and success of our network. We look forward to your active participation and to hearing your valuable insights.

There is an upcoming opportunity for collaboration at the #EULAR2024 Congress: A   joint event based on a novel collaboration between EMEUNET and PARE!

Why This Event Is a Game-Changer for Your Research?

The importance of involving patient experts in research projects is increasingly recognised. Patient experts can provide unique perspectives and strategic insights when designing and conducting research projects and can provide important contributions to improve the value of your research for patients and society.

Introducing: EMEUNET meets PARE: Patient expert involvement in research 

For the first time, EMEUNET members will have the unique opportunity to present their research projects to an audience of patient partners. This is not just a presentation – it's an interactive platform for real-time, constructive feedback, ensuring your research is as impactful as possible.

If you are attending the EULAR Congress for the first or second time, then please keep reading!

With over 14,000 attendees, including clinicians, patients, health professionals in rheumatology and more, discussing a wide range of topics from clinical management to new scientific findings, it's easy to feel overwhelmed. The Congress runs a multitude of sessions all day long. However, there is a tradition of senior attendees sharing their skills on how to navigate 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 discover all the countless opportunities within four days? 

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

The EMEUNET Research Speed-Dating event is an organised networking activity in which young rheumatologists and researchers interact in a series of short conversations in small groups of 2 to 4 persons to determine if there is mutual interest in research collaborations. The event will provide an opportunity for participants to explore collaboration interests, forming the basis for further and more profound interaction. The event has resulted in several successful collaborations in the last few years.

The event will occur on Thursday, 13 June 2024, from 14:45 to 15:45 CEST, between sessions at the EULAR 2024 Congress. Depending on the amount of registrations, there will be an optional second event on Friday, 14 June.
