European Reference Networks (ERN) are cross-border virtual networks of centers of expertise and healthcare providers. The goal of these networks is to provide improved access to high quality diagnostics, care and treatment by pooling knowledge and experience, medical research and education, as well as other resources in the field of rare diseases or rare complex conditions.
