The Annual European Congress of Rheumatology

Update

The COVID-19 pandemic has imposed unprecedented changes in our personal and professional lives. After careful consideration and evaluation of the risks and alternatives, we have decided to cancel the face-to-face annual congress in Frankfurt in June this year. As a scientific medical society, it is our duty to ensure that our medical and health professional participants are available at the forefront of patient care. We are also concerned that bringing our RMD patient delegates into a large meeting venue would be extremely unwise at this time.
