“…Indeed, EMEUNET has successfully developed online interactive tools promoting networking and knowledge exchange among young clinicians and researchers across the world, and has been pioneering these efforts (journal club, peermentoring programme, etc). [13][14][15] Similar initiatives have been pursued by other organisations. Of note, the current study, involving four young specialists' organisations, testifies to the feasibility and success of 'at-distance' multidisciplinary collaborations.…”

“…In contrast, there is a clear potential for EULAR to influence many of the salient professional factors, such as gendered norms and behaviours in rheumatology, gender balance in professional associations and the visibility of suitable role models in rheumatology, both on their own and with support from national professional societies and associations. Similar to the EMEUNET postdoctoral mentoring programme, 45 EULAR could potentially offer mentoring and sponsorship programmes to complement institutional ones. There is a clear potential to influence some of the factors related to personal skills and capabilities by offering training on promotion and salary negotiation skills, career planning skills, self-confidence and leadership skills.…”
