    Communication activities

    All areas for implementation of the above-mentioned initiatives, policies and pieces of legislation represent areas of interest for EURORDIS-Rare Diseases Europe and its Members, and therefore EURORDIS-Rare Diseases Europe is potentially called to act upon all these relevant files together with other stakeholders involved in the rare diseases fields, such as EU decision-makers, national authorities, private sector, healthcare professionals, HTA bodies, payers and regulators at both EU and national levels.

    EURORDIS-Rare Diseases Europe is the main organiser of the European Conference on Rare Diseases and Orphan Medicinal Products.

    EURORDIS-Rare Diseases also created an informal network of Members of the European Parliament that are advocates for the rights of people living with a rare disease. Events have been organised at the European Parliament to launch the network (Oct 2017), to define priorities for action with concerned MEPs (Jan 2018), a photo exhibition to mark Rare Disease Day (Feb 2018) and celebrating the end of the EP term (Mar 2019). The network has been relaunched on the occasion of Rare Disease Day 2020 (Feb 2020).

    EURORDIS leads the global awareness raising campaign on Rare Disease Day (https://www.rarediseaseday.org/), celebrated every year on 28 February with hundreds of events across over 100 countries.

    EURORDIS publishes position papers and other policy documents based on extensive consultation with members and, where relevant, other stakeholders. A list can be found here: https://www.eurordis.org/publications

    EURORDIS also leads the “Rare Barometer Voices” initiative, a survey programme based on a database of thousands of people living with a rare disease. The results of its studies are published here: https://www.eurordis.org/voices

    EURORDIS is part of the “EU4Health Civil Society Alliance” campaign (https://eu4health.eu/) gathering a number of European health organisations to promote a stronger role for the EU in the field of health promotion.
