European Workshop for Rheumatology Research

The European Workshop for Rheumatology Research (EWRR) celebrated its 42nd edition in Dublin City, Ireland, for the first time in 2023. The EWRR was widely regarded as Europe’s premier meeting for basic and translational research in the field of rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases. The event was particularly aimed at attracting young scientists, giving them a platform to present their work in an informal and interactive environment. With a long tradition, the EWRR was a unique event fostering the presentation and discussion of novel findings. The 2023 programme featured nine scientific sessions and two keynote lectures, with state-of-the-art lectures given by some of Europe’s most renowned researchers in and outside the rheumatology field. The event also featured short oral presentations of outstanding abstracts and guided poster tours. Professor Adam Croft, who is Tricia Consortium lead and a principal investigator at the University of Birmingham, chaired a session, and PhD student Sam Kemble gave an oral presentation. Lucy Jane Marsh presented a poster. The EWRR 2022 started with a Thursday afternoon session, and until the Saturday afternoon closing ceremony, there was sufficient time for poster visits and discussion creating an informal atmosphere for scientific networking and social interactions with peers. “We were confident and enthusiastic about welcoming everyone to Dublin to celebrate this unique scientific event together,” said the organizers.
