The 4th annual European League Against Rheumatism congress in Lisbon: a personal perspective.
(2004) In Arthritis Research and Therapy 6(1). p.1-1- Abstract
- The 4th annual European League Against Rheumatism congress, held in Lisbon, 18–21 June 2003, had a record turnout of more than 8600 delegates and the abstract submissions increased to 2600.

The standing committees presented several areas where European cooperative work is in progress. Advances in drug therapy were a prominent theme and were well presented. Commercialism remains a problem for this meeting as for other similar large meetings, where satellite symposia surround the scientific program of the congress and often duplicate this. (Less)
