Every year, in spring and autumn, EULAR awards up to 10 training grants per submission deadline to applicants from European countries for clinical or laboratory work (1-6 months) in a unit of another European country. The objective is to improve the research and care standard and foster collaboration across rheumatological, clinical, and research units in Europe.
