The EULAR PARE Community
EULAR PARE is the network of national organisations of People with Arthritis/Rheumatism in Europe, united to ensure the voice of people with rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases (RMDs) is heard and has influence among decision makers within Europe, and create powerful alliances that will make a difference to their lives.
To achieve this, the committee organises a range of high-quality activities and programmes for its community.

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).
We encourage the submission of abstracts to the patient perspective / PARE research track, showcasing activities and research bearing on the patient perspective and interest.
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.
The EULAR Young PARE Community
The EULAR Young PARE community, a EULAR PARE working group, aims to improve the quality of life of young people (18 to 35 years old) with rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases (RMDs) by raising the profile of these conditions, and by creating a network of individuals who work in European countries on behalf of young people with RMDs.

World Arthritis Day 2022: What is your #RheumaPainPoint?
EULAR's WAD 2022 campaign is focused on understanding the issues the diverse audiences have in the field of rheumatology, such as a shrinking medical workforce, long waiting times for appointments, or lacking understanding of RMDs among governmental decision-makers. Better understanding these 'pain points' will allow us to better address them both at a national and international level, which is EULAR's key goal.
