The '''European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology''' (EULAR) formerly the '''European League Against Rheumatism''' is a European [[non-governmental organization]] which represents the people with arthritis/rheumatism, health professional and scientific societies of [[rheumatology]] of all the European nations.
The aims of EULAR are to reduce the burden of rheumatic diseases on the individual and society and to improve the treatment, prevention and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal diseases.
It promotes the translation of research advances into daily care and fights for the recognition of the needs of people with musculoskeletal diseases by the governing bodies in Europe.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.eular.org/|title=About us|work=EULAR Homepage|date=|accessdate=7 February 2014}}</ref>
