The Association for Undiagnosed and Rare Diseases Hessen e.V. (FUSE), founded by Prof. TOF Wagner and others, has organised several important events at the national level in recent months. Among other things, the association was represented with its own booth at this year’s โHessenfestโ at the Hessian State Representation in Berlin in July. More than 2,000 guests attended this event. The evening offered FUSE a platform to present its work and further expand its network. FUSE also carried out further networking activities at the event “Rare Diseases – Challenges and Opportunities for our Health System” in Berlin in September. The event brought together stakeholders from medicine, science, politics and business from Germany to promote dialogue and collaboration in the field of Rare Diseases.
