Rare Disease Day 2018

The 11^th edition of Rare Disease Day was taking place on February 28, 2018. On this occasion, RARENET, SENSGENE and their partners were animating an information stand in the commercial centre Rivetoile in Strasbourg. The program included: painting one’s face with the colours of the day, a quiz on rare diseases, individualised pictures and workshops to learn more about rare diseases. Many people took part to the activities and could ask their questions to scientists and members of patients’ support groups. At 2pm, everyone came together for a group picture in order to show their support for research and the fight against rare diseases.
