Dear colleagues, friends and esteemed guests,

It’s a great pleasure to invite you to the EULAR 2026 Congress, taking place in London from 3-6 June 2026. Since its inception in 1947, EULAR has been at the forefront of excellence in rheumatology, and our annual Congress remains the cornerstone of that mission.

The EULAR European Congress of Rheumatology brings together the full spectrum of our community - from people living with rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases (RMDs) and healthcare professionals to rheumatologists and industry partners. It’s more than just a scientific meeting; it’s a dynamic platform where cutting-edge research meets real-world application. Through interactive sessions, hands-on workshops, and inspiring discussions, we aim to bridge innovation with daily clinical practice - ultimately improving patient care in Europe and beyond.

Building on the fantastic momentum from EULAR 2025 in Barcelona, we’re excited to bring this energy to London in 2026. This year’s programme will be carefully curated to tackle the most pressing challenges in rheumatology while exploring new frontiers in science, treatment, and collaboration. Whether you're sharing your own work or learning from globally renowned experts, the Congress offers countless opportunities to grow, connect, and contribute to enhancing the future of rheumatology.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone in our vibrant community - including our incredible volunteers and the dedicated EULAR team - for their invaluable work in making this event possible. I look forward to seeing you in London, where together we’ll continue driving progress and shaping a brighter future for all those affected by RMDs.

Warm regards,

Xenofon Baraliakos
EULAR President
