The aim of the European Congress of Rheumatol-ogy is to provide a forum of the highest standard for scientific (both clinical and basic), educational and social exchange between professionals in-volved in rheumatology, liaising with patient or-ganisations, in order to achieve progress in the clinical care of people with rheumatic diseases.

The European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) is the organisation which represents the patient, health professional and scientific soci- eties of rheumatology of all the European nations. EULAR endeavours to stimulate, promote, and support the research, prevention, treatment and rehabilitation of rheumatic diseases. In line with UEMS, EULAR defines rheumatology as including rheumatic diseases of the connective tissue, lo-comotor and musculoskeletal systems.
