    The first European Reference Networks (ERNs) on Rare Diseases will be launched by the end of 2016. Accordingly, the European Commission has launched the first ERN Call for interest on March, 16th 2016. Among 21 Thematic Groups of Rare Diseases, which were mentioned by the European Commission Expert Group on Rare Diseases, the ERN on Rare Multisystemic Vascular Diseases is to be set-up.

    ERNs aim to facilitate and improve access to diagnosis and treatment in rare or low prevalence complex diseases or conditions by pooling existing highly specialised Healthcare Providers/Centers of Excellence across the EU. They will share knowledge, experience, medical research, teaching, training, resources and use relevant communication and eHealth tools to make expertise travel rather than the patients. This will also reduce inequalities of treatment within the EU.

    The European Reference Network on Rare Multisystemic Vascular Diseases gathers about 40 multidisciplinary European highly specialized healthcare providers (HCPs) in this thematic field, represented by clinicians and researchers. It includes specific Diseases Working Groups: Aorta, Medium Size Arteries, HHT, Vascular Anomalies and Primary Lymphedemas, as well as several Thematic Working Groups including for Patients.

    All our Members are Centers of Reference/Excellence recognized in their countries. These Healthcare Providers have developed extensive European collaborations through their specific Rare Diseases’ networks. They join this ERN to foster European cooperation in Rare Multisystemic Vascular Diseases, following a common and multidisciplinary approach to patient care, in order to overcome the challenges of rarity. They are committed to improve diagnosis, treatment, and care for patients by using all opportunities and activities offered by the ERN Project.
