About RareConnect

Living with a rare disease can be an isolating experience.  RareConnect was created by EURORDIS (European Rare Disease Organisation) and NORD (National Organisation for Rare Disorders) to provide a safe space where individuals and families affected by rare diseases can connect with each other, share vital experiences, and find helpful information and resources.

Meet - Start your global conversation here.  Connect with others around the world to share support and encouragement.  The "Meet" section of DysNet's RareConnect community provides a safe place to meet friends, ask questions, start or join conversations, and interact with others experiencing the same challenges. 

Learn - Find quality information from trusted sources.  Read publications from medical experts and patient organisations.  The "Learn" section of DysNet's RareConnect community links to FAQs, published articles, upcoming events, and other documents providing the latest information for each disease-specific community.
