Dear EMEUNET Community,

We are delighted to present the 2025–2026 issue of EMEUNEWS, dedicated to our incredible Country Liaisons (CLs)—the beating heart of our global community. As national ambassadors, CLs play a vital role in linking EMEUNET with local rheumatology societies and young professionals, fostering collaboration, increasing visibility, and driving engagement across Europe and beyond. Their dedication, creativity, and enthusiasm remain central to EMEUNET’s continued growth.

In this issue, you’ll meet our new CLs, celebrate the achievements of those continuing their journey, and bid a fond farewell to those concluding their term. We also shine a spotlight on the inspiring initiatives led by CLs in nearly 40 countries, ranging from educational events and webinars to collaborative research and community outreach. We are deeply grateful for their passion and commitment.

For the Tell me something interesting section, Elvis provides a concise overview of the parmatric vs non-parametric tests.

We aim to provide newsletters that are truly relevant and valuable to you. We would greatly appreciate it if you could take 5–7 minutes to complete this survey and share it with your colleagues. Your feedback will help us shape and plan next year’s activities!

We hope this edition inspires you to connect, contribute, and become an active part of our vibrant and ever-growing network. Please don’t hesitate to share your feedback or suggestions for future editions at emeunet@eular.org.

Best wishes,

Cristiana Siero Santos on behalf of the Country Liasion Subcommittee, and
