E-Breakthrough and Breakthrough evaluation survey

Dear EULAR liaison officers,

For the past 6 years the Standing Committee of PARE has regularly published our e-Breakthrough newsletter (3 issues per year) and one annual hard copy of Breakthrough. In addition a Special Congress issue is published annually after the EULAR Congress in June. The overall aims of the newsletter are:

• to inform key stakeholders within the EULAR community (Standing Committees, EULAR member organisations) and outside (EULAR Congress visitors, politicians) of the activities of the EULAR Standing Committee of PARE;
• to give a platform to other Standing Committees and EULAR member organisations to introduce their activities to a European audience;
• to be a more regular tool for communicating with the EULAR membership and other key stakeholders; and
• to keep national organisations informed and involved in the projects and developments on an ongoing basis.

In line with the new EULAR Strategy, the Standing Committee of PARE would now like to evaluate the impact and usefulness of the newsletter and would be grateful if you and your organisation would spare a moment to complete the following questionnaire. Please only fill in the questionnaire once on behalf of your organisation.

Thank you so much for your support in advance!
