EULAR 2013 calendar

EULAR has produced a brand new calendar design template for 2013 that allows member organisations to customise the calendar by choosing from a wide selection of photographs from the ‘Action Shot’ gallery. We have included 62 new pictures from the gallery, providing a wider choice of activities and countries to feature. 


Organisations can adapt and translate the wording for the calendar and add their organisation’s logo and details where indicated. If you are seeking sponsorship to help fund production of the calendar, you can add the sponsoring company’s logo at your discretion, but please do not use the EULAR logo on your calendar.


The calendar makes a perfect gift for your key stakeholders, or can be sold as a way of raising funds. For more ideas on how to use the calendar, production information, please click here. For the artwork and design templates please click here
