From 21–24 May 2025, ERN RITA took part in the 6th EUVAS Vasculitis Course, held in Trieste, Italy, and was represented by Anne Jasmijn Sellies, Project Manager for ERN RITA.
This international event brought together clinicians, researchers, and patient representatives dedicated to advancing the understanding and management of vasculitis. Anne Jasmijn reported that the course provided an excellent opportunity to reconnect with long-standing collaborators and meet new members of the vasculitis community. She highlighted the importance of such gatherings for strengthening collaboration across disciplines and countries, and for exchanging knowledge with specialists, patient advocates, and early-career professionals working in this field.
The course also coincided with Vasculitis Awareness Month, during which ERN RITA supported a series of three educational webinars focused on different aspects of vasculitis. These sessions attracted over 500 registrations, reflecting the increasing interest and engagement surrounding these rare diseases.
All three webinars are now available to watch on our YouTube channel: Watch here
We thank EUVAS for the kind invitation and the opportunity to contribute to this important event.
