In the New PANLAR, one of our main objectives is to innovate to generate greater value in all fields of Rheumatology.

 

 

 

From the direction of the organization, we are already generating new and better ways of doing things and carrying out the processes. We want innovation to be part of the PANLAR Culture.

 

 

 

We know that the potential within the Pan American League is immense, but how much time do we spend generating and creating new ideas? We believe that is not enough. Therefore, we will start by providing spaces within each of our events where attendees can give free rein to their ability to generate and communicate their ideas; No limits, no restrictions!

 

 

 

PANLAR Innovation Award

 

 

 

In addition to the spaces mentioned, we decided to create a recognition of the best ideas, so that they have the possibility of obtaining accompaniment, resources, and other benefits.

 

 

 

We will consider the following questions to define the winning idea:

 

 

 

Is it really an innovative idea?

 

How original is the idea?

 

How applicable is the idea?

 

What is the impact of this idea?

 

How replicable is the idea?

 

 

 

We want to reward the ability to be innovative, to think "out of the box" and contribute in this way to the development of the specialty and the attention of rheumatic patients by developing practical solutions in our daily work.

 

 

 

The winners will receive a scholarship of 10 thousand dollars that can be used in what they consider and demonstrate necessary to be able to develop the idea.
