The EULAR European Congress of Rheumatology

The EULAR PARE sessions in the  scientific programme  at the European Congress of Rheumatology attracts a broad community, including dedicated representatives of patient organisations who use their acquired knowledge to educate and influence a wide range of stakeholders about rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases (RMDs).

Every year EULAR awards a number of  bursaries  to the presenting author for an abstract accepted for oral or poster presentation at the congress. EULAR PARE members and patients may apply for bursary under the according category following the submission of an abstract.

The platform is accessible from Monday 17 June 2024 until Tuesday 31 December 2024, 23:59 CET.
