ECRD 2024: A HYBRID EVENT
The 12th European Conference on Rare Diseases and Orphan Products is fully hybrid for the first time in 2024. This is one way that EURORDIS is ensuring our events are sustainable. Not only have hybrid events been proven to produce fewer emissions than in-person conferences, but they are also a more accessible and inclusive alternative. We all have a responsibility to limit our carbon footprints, and here is what EURORDIS is doing to help.
Fill out this anonymous short survey on your travel plans to Brussels to give us a broader picture of the emissions associated with the conference.
