General objectives:
- to build consensus and synergies to address regulatory, ethical and technical issues associated with the registration of RD patients and to elaborate possible policy scenarios
- creation of a EU platform for the collection of data on RD patients and their communication among qualified users, based on a feasibility study
- define the options for the preparation of a legal basis, the possible scopes to achieve most effective synergies, the corresponding governance framework and possible options for sustainability. The feasibility of registration of a minimum data set common to all rare diseases, designed to inform policy-making, the conditions to admit research-driven disease or treatment-specific modules and the ways to ensure a sustainable data flow will be assessed
