We have the pleasure to invite you to the 8^th edition of a special event – a free conference entitled “Rare Diseases in a Multidimensional Perspective”, which will be held online on February 28, 2025. The conference language is Polish, program and registration are available at https://chorobyrzadkie.ibb.edu.pl. The conference will be accompanied by a workshop run by the School of Molecular Genetics of the IMiD Foundation, which will be held stationary on 27.02.2025 at the Institute of Mother and Child (IMiD) in Warsaw (registration required).

This year’s conference highlights the complexity of rare diseases, which require a coordinated approach – from diagnosis to therapy to comprehensive social support. These diseases are not only a medical challenge, but also a scientific, social and therapeutic challenge. During the conference, we will focus on the issues of availability of therapies for Polish patients with rare diseases, the role of basic science and modern technologies, including artificial intelligence, in diagnosis and development of targeted drugs, as well as the importance of international cooperation, including the activities of the European Joint Programme on Rare Diseases (EJPRD).
