Iliana Ivanova, Commissioner for Innovation, Research, Culture, Education and Youth, said:
“Millions of Europeans suffer from one of the rare diseases, but we lack a good understanding of their condition as well as preventive measures, diagnostics and treatments. This is where a common policy at EU level and pooled resources can make a huge difference. The new ERDERA partnership can harness the unique potential of Horizon Europe in changing people’s lives for the better. I wish it all success in its important work.”
