Descripció:

ERDERA (European Rare Diseases Research Alliance), funded under the EU Horizon Europe programme, runs the Networking Support Scheme (NSS) to support workshops or conferences that strengthen new or expanding transnational networks in rare diseases, rare cancers, or cohorts of undiagnosed patients suspected of a rare disease/rare cancer. Funding is aimed at knowledge exchange and dissemination of research results, with an emphasis on interactive networking (not lectures/webinars only). Events can be face-to-face or hybrid and should be scheduled between 9 and 21 months after a specific collection date (the selection + administrative process takes ~9 months).

 Objective: Enable scientific knowledge exchange and increase participation of underrepresented European countries in rare disease/rare cancer research networks.
