‘The Power of Collaboration’
Shaping the future of rare disease research, together
We’ll reflect on how the platform has grown over the past two years and bring together stakeholders from across the rare disease research community to share learning, explore partnerships, and look ahead to what’s next.
Programme
This year’s conference will emphasize the role of collaboration in advancing rare disease research. We will showcase significant achievements across the platform and engage in focused discussions on key challenges—exploring how strategic partnerships and shared expertise can deliver impactful solutions.
Emerging talent will be celebrated with the announcement of the winners of this year’s two prestigious awards: the Early Career Researcher Award in PPIE and the Early Career Rare Disease Researcher Award. Hear directly from these researchers about their projects and the difference their work is making in the rare disease community.
