The EESG currently consists of over 100 centers across Europe and actively cooperates with patient advocacy organizations (PAOs), as well as other scientific societies and groups working in the field of vasculitis.

To strengthen this network, EESG meetings are organized every year to discuss and share ideas and brought up new research proposals and projects. Since its inception, several studies have been conducted on clinical and therapeutic aspects of the disease, while a tight collaboration with PAOs has been also consolidated, emphasising the priority mission of building patient’s empowerment, reinforcing the therapeutic alliance between patients and physicians, and creating opportunities for cohesion and education.
