BonePain was the first European training network within bone pain (Grant agreement No 642720). It was running from Jan 1, 2015 until Dec 31, 2018 and was followed by BonePainII (Grant agreement No 814244) running from Jan 1, 2019 until Dec 31, 2022. The networks involved a total of 9 academic groups and 5 industrial companies, all leading within their fields. Altogether, the two first BonePain networks trained 29 early stage researchers from 16 different countries from Ireland to Iran, Indonesia and India in the fields of arthritic pain, cancer pain, pain from fibrous dysplasia, and fracture pain.
In addition to their research skills, the young researchers broaden their transferable skills, gained experience in presenting their research findings to a scientific audience at conferences and workshops as well as to the public. The early stage researchers have published their research findings in scientific publications such as Neuron and Arthritis & Rheumatology.
