Country Liaison from Croatia
Promoting EMEUNET and the Value of the Newsletter
On 18th April 2026, during an official meeting of the Croatian section of young rheumatologists, organised in collaboration with the Croatian Society of Rheumatology, a presentation introduced EMEUNET and highlighted its relevance for early-career rheumatologists.
The session, titled “Why Join EMEUNET?”, provided an overview of EMEUNET as part of EULAR, with particular emphasis on the opportunities it offers, including participation in task forces, research collaborations, educational activities, and involvement in EMEUNET subcommittees.
Special attention was given to the EMEUNET Newsletter as a central communication tool within the network. It was presented as a key resource for staying informed about ongoing initiatives, calls for applications, educational opportunities, and recent achievements of young rheumatologists across Europe. The Newsletter also serves as an accessible platform for sharing experiences and promoting national activities, thereby strengthening connections within the EMEUNET community.
The presentation concluded with a call to action, encouraging young Croatian rheumatologists to join EMEUNET and actively follow the Newsletter to remain engaged and benefit from the wide range of opportunities available. The session was well-received and underscored the importance of structured communication channels in supporting the next generation of rheumatologists.
