Taking place in February, which also marks the occasion of Rare Disease Day, the annual EURORDIS Black Pearl Awards celebrate the outstanding achievements of people living with a rare disease, along with those who go that extra mile to make a difference to their lives.
Don’t miss your chance to nominate your star of the rare disease community, or enter yourself, for the 2025 EURORDIS Black Pearl Awards!
These award categories recognise the outstanding efforts of individuals, organisations, companies, researchers, scientists, media, and policy makers in bringing about change to improve the lives of the 30 million people in Europe and 300 million worldwide living with a rare disease.
Among all the nominations received, the EURORDIS Board of Directors will select the award recipients in October 2024. A few finalists will be selected for the Social Media Award, for which the winners will be determined by a public vote. The awardees will then be presented with their awards at the official Ceremony in February 2025, to mark the occasion of Rare Disease Day.
