One of the most valuable takeaways from any conference is the new relationships and contacts made through networking.

Each year, the ECRD attracts hundreds of stakeholders including the rare disease patient community, academia, regulators, policy makers and healthcare professionals. This abundance of participants makes each ECRD a must-attend event for those who wish to expand their network or for patient advocates who wish to share their experiences and aspirations.

The ECRD 2022 facilitated two networking sessions hubs, one on Monday, 27th June from 16:00 to 17:00 (CET) and a second one on Friday, 1st July from 14:00 to 15:30 (CET).

In addition, two language hubs were possible to join on Wednesday 29th June and Thursday, 30th June from 11:00 to 12:00 CET.
