Open to patient groups, academics, healthcare professionals and all other interested parties having conducted research or studies on rare diseases or public health projects.
All accepted posters will be featured in a virtual exhibition, with the possibility for on-site display at the conference.
Deadline: 6 March 2026
Abstract length: 200-300 words
