STRATA-FIT also participated in the EULAR 2025 Congress, held in Barcelona from 11-14 June. This large event provided an excellent opportunity to showcase our project to rheumatologists, health professionals, patients, and industry partners exploring the latest scientific breakthroughs and practical advancements in the field of rheumatology.
Our team set up a booth and the researchers and Patient Advisory Panel members were on-site to provide firsthand insights into our project.
We showed the innovative work of STRATA-FIT, offering visitors a comprehensive look at our research objectives, methodologies, and impact on rheumatology.
The young researchers and the patient research partners involved in STRATA-FITplayed a crucial role, bringing their unique perspectives to the conversations and demonstrating the collaborative spirit of our project.
The project was also presented at different Congress sessions by our consortium members:
- Assessing implementation of the EULAR recommendations for PRP involvement in the STRATA-FIT Consortium by Slađana Rumpl Tunjić
- How to motivate and involve Patient Research Partners in a Research Project by Paul Studenic
- AI for IA patients in flares – the researcher’s perspective by Paul Studenic
.
These sessions are now available for online viewing through the EULAR On-Demand Platform until Wednesday, 31 December 2025.
Finally, to capture perspectives from the different stakeholders on-site, we introduced two targeted surveys at our booth. The clinician questionnaire focused on the real-world management of D2T RA, inviting healthcare professionals involved in RA care to share their insights and ensure that our future clinical decision support system is both clinically revelant and patient-centred. Alongside, the patient survey offered individuals living with RA the opportunity to anonymously share their experiences with ongoing treatment challenges, helping us better understand the patient journey. The response was encouraging, as the surveys remain open to continue gathering diverse insights that will shape the next stages of our project.
