WELCOME TO THE EMM 2023!

We are pleased to host the EURORDIS Membership Meeting 2023 (EMM) in Stockholm, Sweden from Thursday, 25 May through Saturday, 27 May

The event will provide an engaging and lively discussion on the road towards a holistic approach to addressing the needs of people living with a rare disease and ensuring their full inclusion in society, with much missed in-person opportunities for exchange.

This year’s EMM comes at a critical time for Europe, as EU institutions revise milestone legislation for rare diseases – on pharmaceutics and paediatrics – and pave the way for new legislative frameworks, including the European Health Data Space and the European Strategy on Mental Health.

The Membership Meeting’s programme will focus on the most relevant and cutting-edge issues impacting the lives of the 30 million Europeans living with a rare disease and their families, including digital safety and literacy, mental well-being, the role of digital healthcare and associated opportunities and risks, and disability recognition.

Throughout the three-day programme, we will feature EMM’s hallmark Lifelong holistic approach and full inclusion in society, workshop and networking moderated sessions. 

Attendees will benefit from excellent networking opportunities and knowledge exchange with their peers. Learn more About the EURORDIS Membership Meeting
