DENMARK

EMEUNET at the Danish Rheumatology Association

 

Each year the Danish Rheumatology Association hosts a 2-day-meeting for all the Rheumatologists and fellows-in-training in Denmark. It’s a national conference where new research and guidelines are presented, where we have a presentation competition in which selected abstracts are presented by young rheumatologists doing research, and where the yearly general assemblies for both the National Rheumatology Association and the Young Rheumatologist Association is held. It is a fantastic event to catch up with old colleagues and network with new ones.
