As we start to prepare for EULAR 2024, we are looking back at some of our activities from conferences of recent years. In this special episode, we revisit our ever-popular EMEUNET Mentor-Mentee Meetings. In this episode, Dr Fabian Proft interviews Professor Nicola Dalbeth, a mentor during the programme at ACR 2022. Here, she shares her insights on her research career, top tips for early career researchers and much more! The Mentor-Mentee (online or in-person) meetings  are a wonderful opportunity to discuss research topics and career plans in an informal atmosphere with an expert in the field of clinical or basic research in rheumatology. Stay tuned for the EULAR 2024 Mentor-Mentee in-person meetings, don’t miss this opportunity! Editorial Team: Dr Bayram Farisogullari, Dr Renske Meijer, Dr Olivier Fakih, Dr Mrinalini Dey
