Myositis UK is proud to be the Gold Sponsor to the 3rd Global Conference on Myositis, which is held this week in Berlin 😬

The conference is an international gathering of those working in the field of Myositis. #GCOM2019

Myositis UK is also excited to fund the first conference "speed funding" opportunity, specifically dedicated to support research of young scientists in the Myositis field.

Myositis UK has always recognised the importance to support the next generation of Myositis researchers, so is pleased to fund 3 grants of 15,000 Euro (45,000 Euro) for Juvenile Dermatomyositis, Inclusion Body Myositis & Polymyositis/Dermatomyositis, that will be awarded at #GCOM2019

We would like to thank you for supporting Myositis UK with your fundraising, which enables us to support the Myositis experts of the future 👏

Always interesting to know these conferences take place. We never find out what happens at them. As Myositis UK funds people to go there from Myisitus UK with money raised from us, it would be good to hear what went on and how it affects us. Seems a fair exchange of information for donations to me. Looking forward to reading some news reports from those that attended or some information on how we can find out this news.

There is ongoing news and updates via the Myositis UK facebook page and Twitter almost daily; I only post the odd highlight here. We are in the process of having a new website and this will enable us to update information far easier then the current format.

An overview of meetings attended by Trustees and details of funding granted is always in the newsletter that is published twice a year and sent to Myositis UK members; a link of newsletters can also be found on the website. I give the Treasurers Report at the AGM each year and the accounts can be seen by the public on the Charity Commission website.
