EMEUNET Peer Review Mentoring Programme

Since its first edition in 2012, this innovative program has received enormous attention by all the EMEUNET community and it has been continuously growing.

7th Edition of the Programme

For this year's edition, we have 4 mentors:

Kimme Hyrich (UK), epidemiology, drug safety, real world data, effectiveness, registries, outcomes research, inflammatory arthritis;

Marta Mosca (Italy), systemic lupus erythematosus, patient reported outcomes and pregnancy, UCTD and early SLE;

James Galloway (UK), rheumatoid arthritis, clinical trials, epidemiology, sarcoidosis, vaccines, infections;

Alfons den Broeder (The Netherlands), RA, b/tsDMARDS, epidemiology, therapeutic drug monitoring, clinical trials;

 Collaboration with ARD and RMD Open

Currently we are running a collaboration with the two EULAR/BMJ rheumatology journals: ARD and RMD Open. The addition of RMD Open to the program brought new top-level mentors and a broader selection of research topics, as well as a higher number of places available.

The participation of mentors and mentees of this program has been acknowledged in the “Thank you to reviewers” issue of the participating journals.
