Goals & Impacts

Unify knowledge, resources and expertise

ERDERA brings under one roof a broad range of high-value services, resources and cross-disciplinary expertise to support rare disease research projects across Europe, from planning and design to efficient execution.

Boost clinical research with and for patients

Enabling every consenting patient living with a rare disease to be findable and enrolled in a suitable clinical study that matches their needs and preferences is a core goal in ERDERA. Empowered patients can contribute to the generation of high-quality evidence to improve diagnosis, understanding of diseases and develop treatments.

Spur innovation and EU competitiveness

The new partnership aims to make Europe a global leader in rare disease research by increasing investment to spur innovation, aligning regional, national and European research strategies, and fostering collaboration among all stakeholders at global scale.
