Our Planning Committee, of six international experts in Lupus, has endeavoured to provide an unparalleled scientific programme, which we believe will provide you with new ideas and enhanced enthusiasm for future interaction and discussion with your colleagues in Lupus.

The forthcoming Inaugural meeting of the Lupus Academy will provide you with valuable insight into advances in global research and clinical practice in Lupus and allied diseases. The scientific programme is designed to create a highly interactive forum with world-leading clinicians and scientists for the exchange of information and experiences in the management of Lupus across Europe.
