    The goal of the workshops is to train researchers and clinicians affiliated to ERN-Full  Members or Affiliated Partners in relevant topics on rare diseases research. Training themes may include innovative research methodologies, diagnostic research methodologies, interdisciplinary treatment approaches, such as gene therapy and transplantation, etc. Providing a cross-ERN added value is highly desired.

    The workshops will be delivered as two-day events. Topics can be proposed by clinicians/investigators affiliated to ERN-institutions or EJP RD beneficiaries.  As of 2021, there will be two deadlines for workshop topic applications per year, in January and June.

    • Multidisciplinary topics
    • Fostering collaboration (within and between ERNs)
    • No overlap with other EJP RD training activities
    • Relevance of the topic for the ERN(s)
    • Benefits for the RD community
    • Appropriate training methodology

    The workshops selected for funding will be attended only by individuals affiliated to ERN institutions. Participants will be selected by the coordinator of the ERN managing institution and the workshop organizer based on pre-defined criteria. The costs for the workshop organization will be covered up to a limit of € 25,000.

    Applicants/Application profile:

    The applicant submitting workshop topics must fit one of the following:

    • Affiliated to any EJP RD beneficiary institution. The list of EJP RD beneficiary organizations can be found here

    A preliminary announcement on the European Joint Programme on Rare Diseases (EJP RD) Joint Transnational Call (JTC) 2020 has just been released! The topic for this call is "Pre-clinical research to develop effective therapies for rare diseases"

    Research proposals must cover at least one of the following areas:

    1. Development of novel therapies in a preclinical setting (including small molecules, repurposing drugs, cell and gene advanced therapies) focusing on condition(s) with unmet medical needs
    2. Use of disease models suitable for medicinal product’s development according to EMA guidelines
    3. Development of predictive and pharmacodynamics (PD) biomarkers (with appropriate analytical methods e.g. OMICS) in a preclinical setting (e.g. in the validated model or in pre-collected human samples) for monitoring the efficiency of the therapy. The model chosen must mimic the human diseases and be transposable so that the biomarker identified in animals can be valid for humans
    4. Proof of principle studies fostering an early (pre-clinical) stage of drug development (excluding interventional clinical trials of phase 1-4).

    The maximum duration of the project is three years and the consortium submitting a proposal must involve 4-6 (up to 8, if inclusion of partners from underrepresented countries or Early Career Researchers) eligible principal investigator partners (no more than two from the same country).

    There will be a two-stage submission procedure for joint applications: pre-proposals and full proposals.

    Pre-proposal submission deadline: 18th February 2020.

    February is Marfan Awareness Month, a time for all of us in the community to escalate our efforts to increase Marfan awareness.

    This year, the Marfan Foundation hopes you will join them in the #MarfanVictoryChallenge.

    "The idea is to spread the word about Marfan syndrome – through social media; through community events, such as educational events or fundraisers at work, school, or other community settings; or through legislative activities, such as getting a local proclamation for Marfan Awareness Month."

    More information on the Marfan Foundation website.
