Canadian Arthritis Research Conference: Research with Impact

CARC 2025 Announcement

After careful consideration, the partners at the CIHR - Institute of Musculoskeletal Health and Arthritis (IMHA), Arthritis Society Canada, and the Canadian Rheumatology Association (CRA) have decided to place the Canadian Arthritis Research Conference (CARC) on hiatus for the upcoming year. This decision reflects the need to reassess each organization's strategic goals and resources to ensure that CARC continues to serve the research community effectively. We will keep you informed about our plans and welcome any questions to research@arthritis.ca

The fifth annual Canadian Arthritis Research Conference “Advancing Arthritis Research: Team Science for Greater Impact”, was held on April 3 and 4, 2024, and brought together 115 researchers, clinicians, and individuals living with arthritis from across the globe. The conference featured 3 keynote lectures, symposia, best research presentations and panel discussions as well as networking opportunities with experts, researchers, consumers, and emerging leaders from the arthritis community. 

CARC 2024 also provided a forum for 54 investigators to share their research through the fourth annual Research Presentation Days, held on March 18, 25 and April 2, 2024. The Research Presentation Days provided a public platform for presentations by researchers at all career stages and allowed for brief conversations and questions about the research with the CARC Scientific Committee and other presenters.
We want to give a special thanks to the CARC Scientific Committee, for their leadership in the development of the conference program as well as the participation of all speakers and moderators. Thanks to their contributions, CARC 2024 was another tremendous success.
