EULAR 2016

Dear Colleagues,

The next EULAR Annual European Congress of Rheumatology will take place between the 8 and 11 June 2016 in London. The annual EULAR congresses which began in 2000 are today a major event in the calendar of world rheumatology. The meeting will again provide a unique occasion for the exchange of scientific and clinical information. It should facilitate interaction between patients, medical doctors, scientists, health professionals and professionals representing the pharmaceutical industry both from Europe and from around the world. You are certainly aware that participating in the congress is just one element of the annual educational package provided by EULAR. Thus in addition, the participants will have the opportunity to watch virtually all oral presentations through electronic capture and will be provided with a complimentary one-year access to the newest developments and publications in the field of RMDs.

EULAR has grown rapidly in terms of the number of participants and the quality of the submissions. Thus, more than 4,300 abstracts were submitted to the most recent congress in Rome and more than 195 sessions and poster tours were offered. This enormous success reflects the ever increasing interest in rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases (RMDs) which has been seen in most societies and is now recognized also by the EU. It also reflects the availability of increased information on the size, burden and cost of these diseases for society, and a significantly improved ability to diagnose and treat them. The incorporation of health professional and patient organisations within EULAR has been a considerable stimulus for these advances.

The EULAR Congress 2016 in London will once again provide a wide range of topics including clinical innovations, clinical translational and basic science. In addition there will be significant contributions made by People with Arthritis and Rheumatism (PARE), by Health Professionals in Rheumatology (HPR) and by the health care industry. The core science and central activity of the congress will be the poster presentations and poster tours with their highly interactive exchanges between participants. The London meeting will further promote the reputation of the EULAR Congress as a most innovative and informative venue for clinical research for the practising physician. The EULAR EMEUNET organisation of young rheumatologists also hopes to attract young colleagues to the meeting and will disseminate the message that rheumatology is one of the most attractive and successful disciplines of medicine.

The city of London needs little introduction. „Tired of London, tired of life“ is a quotation previously used for the 2011 EULAR congress in London, and it is even more reinforced by the recent accolade of „world city“, and indicates how ideal a venue this is for an international meeting such as the EULAR Congress which has truly become a world congress. The elegance of London with its architecture, galleries, theatres and ambience should again provide an excellent background for clinical exchanges, international collaborations and renewal of friendships. It is our great pleasure and a real joy in welcoming medical doctors, patients, health professionals and representatives of the pharmaceutical industry and hope their stay in London will be delightful, informative and educational.
