The Cyprus Institute of Neurology & Genetics (CING) participates in nine (9) European Reference Networks (ERNs). CING’s participation in these ERNs proves the high level of expertise and specialization in our fields of operation. 

The ERNs focus on the continuous education of health professionals and other measures required for better diagnosis, management and treatment of rare-disease patients in Europe. The ERNs thus organize educational activities, such as webinars, conferences, presentations of case studies, and discussions with experts, and overall endeavor to consolidate disperse expertise, harmonize procedures and establish infrastructures in support of rare diseases. In this vein, the ERNs aim to establish European registries for all rare genetic disorders, to enable data-guided policies based on reliable epidemiological and statistical data, and to facilitate the development of dedicated treatments for rare and ultrarare diseases.
