VASCERN

The RVCL-S team of the LUMC is a part of the European Reference Network (ERN) VASCERN.

ERNs are networks of European healthcare providers. They facilitate transfer of knowledge about rare disorders between healthcare providers and aim towards better recognition and treatment of rare disorders. Moreover, these networks provide novel research possibilities.

The VASCERN network is aimed at rare multisystemic vascular diseases.
