Welcome to the EULAR 2020 Report

This year’s congress was a truly remarkable celebration of scientific and educational excellence in a new online format, keeping faith with EULAR’s commitment to be the prime platform for rheumatology information exchange and professional education in Europe and for the world.

More than 18,700 delegates from 138 countries attended this year’s e-congress to inform themselves of the best in rheumatology research and clinical advances. As such, the EULAR Congress has confirmed its global appeal – indeed the virtual format has allowed even greater dissemination of the content with increased value to our community as we collectively seek to improve the lives of people with rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases.

The EULAR 2020 Report brings you highlights of some of the best presentations, focusing especially on the clinical and therapeutic findings that now, or soon, will change the way physicians and health professionals practice in our most exciting of disciplines.

We hope that you will enjoy this synthesis of the latest in rheumatology clinical and translational research. We missed the personal encounters with you in 2020 but look forward to meeting you in Paris in 2021!
