Working with European Reference Networks (ERNs)
European Reference Networks (ERNs) bring together specialised healthcare centres across Europe to address complex and rare diseases.
Aligning with ERNs means working towards shared priorities, coordinated strategies and stronger connections between research and care. This helps ensure that research insights reach clinical practice — and that clinical needs inform research,connectingresearch with real-lifepatient care.
- Sharing research insights and opportunities with ERNs
- Enabling ERNs to feed needs and priorities back into research planning
- Supporting links to data sharing, clinical research coordination and training activities
