European Congress of Rheumatology Milan, 31 May–3 June 2023 On June the 3 rd , 2023, the annual European Congress of Rheumatology – EULAR 2023 – came to its conclusion. Milan hosted over 12,400 delegates from more than 130 countries. Not only were the participants able to listen to exciting lectures presenting new scientific and clinical achievements, but they also could take part in workshops and direct meetings with experts, publishers, representa- tives of patient organizations and patients themselves. This gave the attendees an opportunity to establish new scientific and social contacts, meeting – outside the realm of the online world – members of e.g. the European Reference Network (ERN) for rare diseases. As always, the presentation of new EULAR recommenda- tions and the discussion on the possibilities of rheumatological diagnostics were particularly expected. The abstracts presented at the conference (oral, poster and published) were included in a 2243-page book (EULAR 2023 – Abstract archive). Among the Polish group of partici- pants, Mariusz Korkosz (Department of Rheumatology and Immunology, Jagiel- lonian University, Krakow) presented his lecture on D2T axial spondyloarthri- tis. Matylda Sierakowska (Department of Integrated Medical Care, Medical University of Bialystok) was designated to the EULAR HPR Committee and Przemysław Kotyla (Department of Rheumatology and Immunology, Medical University of Silesia, Katowice, Poland) to the Quality of Care Committee.

On 30 May in rooms of the National Museum of Science and Technology Leonardo da Vinci the 20 th anniversary of EUSTAR celebration was held. This also gave the opportunity to underline some Polish accents in the work of this very dynamically growing research group. With the pivotal role of Prof. Otylia Kowal-Bielecka (Department of Rheumatology and Internal Medicine, Medical University of Bialystok, Poland) as the leader of the recommendation-working group, as well as the previous contribution of Polish rheumatological centers to the final shape of EUSTAR Database Polish rheumatological centers, are still recognizable players in the field of scleroderma.
