Help us make rheumatology gender equitable

The EULAR Task Force on Gender Equity in Rheumatology in partnership with EMEUNET is conducting a survey on gender equity in rheumatology. The survey results will be used to inform EULAR and EMEUNET governing bodies, develop policy proposals, design education and training interventions, and raise awareness of the workforce and gender equity issues. EULAR and EMEUNET members of all genders are invited to participate. Your perspective is very important and we hope you will answer candidly. Together we can make rheumatology better! Start survey now.

Register now for the 27th Intensive Course in Applied Epidemiology

This course, run by the Epidemiology Group at the University of Aberdeen, part of the Centre for Arthritis and Musculoskeletal Health, has been running in Aberdeen since 2007, having previously been run at the Arthritis Research UK Epidemiology Unit, at the University of Manchester.

The course is pitched at a level equivalent to an Epidemiology module in a Masters course. Although a background in health-related studies is assumed, no prior knowledge of epidemiology is expected. The course has four streams: Disease measurement, Study Design, Methodology and Key Skills.

Job Opportunity

Excellent postdoctoral research opportunity to strengthen the research line on the relation between mechanical loading and the biological response of the articular cartilage in the Skeletal Biology and Engineering Research Center at KU Leuven, Belgium. This research project is an ongoing collaboration between the Human Movement Biomechanics Research Group (Prof. Ilse Jonkers) and the Laboratory of Tissue Homeostasis and Disease (Prof. Rik Lories). The aim of this project is to evaluate how and to what extent clinically relevant mechanical loading affects cartilage homeostasis, regeneration and degeneration.

EUREKA - UMCU Summer School Course - Translational Medicine

EMEUNET would like to highlight the EUREKA - UMCU Summer School Course - Translational Medicine: Doing the Right Research Right (12 July 2020 - 17 July 2020). This course will not only give you an insight into how science works, but more importantly, you will acquire knowledge on how to be a successful translational researcher yourself. This course is specifically not about learning how to ‘play the game’, but about understanding that there is a game going on, what the rules are and to be able to transcend it.
