Day 2 today! Led by ERDERA, this workshop brings together researchers, clinicians, patient advocates, industry and policymakers from across Europe to tackle a big question: how can we better prioritize rare diseases for advanced therapies?

Whatโ€™s happening:
โ€ข Finalising a practical, inclusive prioritisation framework
โ€ข Creating a guide to match disease categories with the right ATMP platforms

How itโ€™s tested:
โ€ข Day 1: co-create & refine with all stakeholders
โ€ข Day 2: apply in practice and build a simple decision tree mapping diseases to technologies

Why it matters: This work feeds a Rare Disease Prioritisation Tool for ATMP Developmentโ€”aiming for more targeted, impactful and equitable future treatments.
Thank you to everyone involvedโ€”and to all who contributed to the earlier review, interviews and survey! ๐Ÿ’™
