The Scandinavian Congress of Rheumatology is an important meeting for clinicians and scientists in the field of rheumatology to exchange knowledge, experience, and ideas and to promote collaboration and networking. We are aiming to build a program that has its focus on clinical topics that are relevant for rheumatologists, with a special emphasis on Scandinavian collaborative programs within outcome and registry research and other areas where Scandinavian rheumatology can make important international contributions. We hope the program will attract both young and established rheumatologists both from Scandinavia and other countries.
