European reference networks
European reference networks (ERNs) help professionals and centres of expertise in different countries to share knowledge.
ERNs should:
- apply EU criteria to tackle rare diseases requiring specialised care
- serve as research and knowledge centres treating patients from other EU countries
- ensure the availability of treatment facilities where necessary
