On 26 to 28 May, our member EURORDIS is organizing the eighth edition of the European Conference on Rare Diseases & Orphan Products (ECRD) in Edinburgh, UK. Rare diseases stakeholders from across Europe will get together and discuss crucial themes for the sector.
This biennial conference is the foremost event that unites all rare disease stakeholders from across Europe (patients and patient representatives, healthcare professionals and researchers, industry, payers, regulators and policy makers). ECRD 2016 will bring together over 80 speakers and more than 700 participants, covering six themes of content over two days: from the latest research, to developments in new treatments, to innovations in healthcare, social care and support at the European, national and regional levels.
The focus in 2016 will be on Game Changers in Rare Diseases. There will also be pre-conference tutorials to ensure participants are equipped to learn as much as possible from the conference.
New meeting formats to enhance the on-site learning experience will be showcased for the first time in Edinburgh and will include a speed networking session, an open-house soap-box lunch session, audience polling, networking lunches and dedicated poster sessions. More info on networking.
