ERDERA to launch the 2026 Joint Transnational Call on rare diseases
The European Rare Disease Research Alliance (ERDERA) has launched Proposal Round 2 of its Networking Support Scheme (NSS), offering up to €30,000 per event to support networking activities focused on rare diseases and rare cancers.
The scheme funds transnational workshops, conferences, and meetings that bring together researchers, clinicians, and patient organisations to share knowledge and strengthen collaboration.
Applications for this round are open until 7 April 2026 at 14:00 CET. Events must involve participants from at least three eligible countries, including at least one from an underrepresented country, and promote inclusiveness across the European research community.
VASCERN encourages its members and partners to explore this opportunity to build stronger connections and support innovation in rare disease research.
