The FIRENDO network will award a grant for the 2026-2027 period to fund a collaborative research project between a FIRENDO member institution and a healthcare provider (HCP) that is a member of the ENDO-ERN (European Reference Network for Rare Endocrine Conditions) outside of France.
The grant aims to stimulate international collaborative clinical, translational, or basic research projects between:
a FIRENDO member institution (clinical or research laboratory, clinical department, patient association) – directory available here,
and an institution accredited as an Endo-ERN (European Reference Network for Rare Endocrine Diseases) HCP outside of France – Continue reading →
An updated brochure presenting the European Reference Networks (ERNs) is now available.
ERNs are 24 thematic networks connecting specialised healthcare centres across Europe to improve the diagnosis, care and treatment of people living with rare, low-prevalence and complex diseases. By bringing together medical expertise, research and patient perspectives, ERNs help ensure that knowledge travels — not patients.
The brochure provides an overview of how ERNs work, the role they play in improving care across borders, and highlights each of the 24 networks, including Endo-ERN, which focuses on rare endocrine conditions.
Through collaboration, [...]
