The 15th annual EURORDIS Black Pearl Awards, celebrating the individuals and organisations driving progress for people living with rare diseases, will take place on 24 February 2026 in Brussels and on an interactive online platform.
Since 2012, EURORDIS-Rare Diseases Europe has organised this event to recognise the major achievements made for and by the rare disease community, as well as the commitment of patient advocates, patient organisations, policymakers, scientists, companies, and others.
This year’s awardees will be revealed in the lead-up to the ceremony.
