ABSTRACT
Individual researchers and consortia have been studying rare diseases for several decades. However, the rare disease community can be very fragmented mainly due to the large heterogeneity of rare diseases. Indeed, for many diseases, there is a very limited amount of researchers and resources available. Concerted efforts to organize the rare disease community and funding were emerging in several countries but so far, international coordination was rather limited. The International Rare Diseases Research Consortium (IRDiRC) aims to correct this. A part of this requires bringing rare disease researchers together for an international conference.
