WELCOME MESSAGE FROM THE EULAR PRESIDENT

Dear Friends, 

As the President of the European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology (EULAR), 
I am deeply honoured to invite you to the EULAR 2025 Congress in Barcelona, 11-14 June 2025. Since 1947, EULAR has been a beacon of excellence in rheumatology, and our annual Congress is the pinnacle of our efforts. 

The EULAR European Congress of Rheumatology is our esteemed flagship event, consistently delivering an unparalleled experience year after year. The Congress serves as a unifying platform where individuals with RMDs, esteemed health professionals, dedicated rheumatologists, and respected industry partners come together to explore the latest scientific breakthroughs and practical advancements in the field of rheumatology. Our Congress is crafted to connect groundbreaking research with practical application, ensuring a seamless transition from diagnosis to patient care through hands-on workshops and innovative sessions. 

Following the success of EULAR 2024 in Vienna, Barcelona promises to deliver another exceptional experience. Our distinguished speakers and leading experts will present insightful scientific sessions, abstract presentations, and engaging discussions. The EULAR 2025 Scientific Programme is carefully curated to tackle the key challenges and explore emerging opportunities in the field. Attendees will have the chance to deepen their knowledge, share ideas, and build valuable connections with peers from around the globe. 

I sincerely thank our community, volunteers, and the EULAR team for their dedication. Let us come together in Barcelona, and let us once again push the boundaries of excellence in rheumatology, and continue shaping a healthier future for those affected by RMDs. 

With warmest regards, 

Daniel Aletaha, 
EULAR President
