ARCAID Final Symposium

Dear ARCAID Fellows, ARCAID PI’s and ARCAID Partner Organizations,

It is almost 5 years ago that our Cofund project Amsterdam Rheumatology Center for Autoimmune Diseases (ARCAID) started. We managed to recruit outstanding fellows, who moved to Amsterdam from all over the world in the midst of the COVID pandemic, which made their journey even more challenging. Many ups, many downs, many trainings, lectures, courses, zoom meetings, live meetings, congresses and events further they have finalized, or are in the process of doing so, their PhD journeys, and the end of ARCAID is near.

We will therefore organize a final ARCAID symposium where the remaining ARCAID fellows will present their research (either with a presentation or a poster) and we also have invited two excellent speakers to talk about their journey in research. 

We would like to invite all who have been part of this in some way, or are interested to hear the outcome, and especially our partner organisations of which some have contributed by hosting a secondment, to join us in this last meeting.

Kind regards on behalf of the organizing committee and the 2 ARCAID coordinators; Prof Ronald van Vollenhoven and Dr. Lisa van Baarsen,

Laurian Jongejan (ARCAID Project manager)
