The group has contributed to several influential EURORDIS positions and played a key role in shaping patient engagement and patient-centric approaches in numerous European projects such as FACILITATE, JARDIN, and Screen4Care.
Mission
The mission of the DAG is to identify and seize opportunities to influence strategic decision-making and ensure that patient views are represented at the highest levels. Your contributions will help EURORDIS better assess and advocate for the needs and perspectives of patients.

- High level of English fluency (mandatory)
- Active membership in the EURORDIS network (mandatory)
