4th Conference on European Reference Networks,

With the involvement of the main ERNs stakeholders, including ERNs representatives, policy makers, national authorities, scientific communities and patients associations, the Conference represents the perfect environment for brainstorming

Now that the 24 European Reference Networks (ERNs) launched in March 2017 are successfully operational, the complexity and ambition of the ERNs model implies a continuous and proactive analysis of the many challenges that ERNs are facing in the current deployment phase and those that will arise in the future.

In this context, the 4th Conference on European Reference Networks, "ERNs in action" will take place on 21&22 November 2018 in Brussels with the involvement of the main ERNs stakeholders, including ERNs representatives, policy makers, national authorities, scientific communities and patients associations, creating the perfect environment for brainstorming with the objectives:

  • To inform about the state of play of ERNs as a success of cross-border collaboration and new way of delivering healthcare.
  • To mark the momentum that ERNs are entering into a new life cycle: the deployment phase.
  • To present the main clinical and organisational outcomes of the networks and lessons learnt.
  • To identify the main challenges, potential improvements for the functioning and management of the networks and the way forward of the ERN system.

Each ERN will be represented by 10 participants involved in the networks as coordination teams, healthcare providers, project managers, patient's representatives or other members of the network. We are looking forward to meeting you in Brussels!
