28th Belgian Congress on Rheumatology

The Royal Belgian Society for Rheumatology takes great pleasure in announcing
the 29th Belgian Congress on Rheumatology, taking place in Antwerpen on 24
– 26 September 2025.
This 29th Congress will be hosted at Hilton Antwerp Old Town, situated in the
heart of the city overlooking the Cathedral of Our Lady and the Old Town square.
We are proud to announce this year’s scientifi c programme, featuring a well
curated mix of state-of-the-art invited lectures by renowned national and
international speakers, and Updates in Therapeutics organised with the support
of industry.
Following last year’s success, we are excited to once again offer interactive
workshops on Friday morning, where clinically oriented, challenging cases will
be discussed in small groups under the guidance of experts.
We have also provided ample space for participants to present their own work::
The Scientifi c Committee will select a limited number of abstracts for oral
presentation in the Young Investigators’ Meeting, the abstract sessions and the
Thieves Market (send us your most remarkable clinical cases!).
This year again, a € 500 prize will be awarded to the young clinician who presents
the best of the three selected clinical cases in the Thieves’ Market. Please
note that only trainees or rheumatologists within maximum 3 years of board
certifi cation are eligible to apply.
Furthermore, a € 500 prize will be awarded to each of the four best abstracts.
Together with the Local Organising Committee and the KBVR-SRBR Board
members, we hope to welcome you to BCR’25 in Antwerpen!
Yours sincerely,
Nisha Limaye, Ph.D.
Scientifi c President
