Entrepreneurship in the territories: is it the right time?
EURORDIS-Rare Diseases Europe is a unique, non-profit alliance of over 1000 rare disease patient organisations from 74 countries that work together to improve the lives of over 300 million people living with a rare disease globally. By connecting patient, families and patient groups, as well as by bringing together all stakeholders and mobilising the rare disease community, EURORDIS strengthens the patient voice and shapes research, policies and patient services. With offices in Paris, Brussels, and Barcelona and staff and volunteers across Europe, here you can be part of a truly international team.
The Rare Barometer programme collects rare disease patients’ perspectives and opinions through qualitative and quantitative data collection methods on important topics for the rare disease community. These data contribute to feeding EURORDIS’ evidence-based advocacy work to improve the lives of people living with a rare disease in Europe. Survey results are disseminated among patient organisations, European and International institutions and various networks and conferences.
Under the supervision of the Rare Barometer Senior Manager, the Survey Project Manager oversees the design, dissemination and analysis of international surveys gathering the experience and perspective of rare disease patients.
