RARE-NL is a collaborative initiative in which several university medical centres join forces as the ‘hub’ of FAST, the centre for Future Affordable Sustainable Therapy Development. FAST is an independent national centre of expertise and collaboration, promoting innovation in therapy development. FAST acts as a dynamic network infrastructure, bringing together knowledge, promoting dialogues and engaging a wide range of experts.

The centre identifies key opportunities and challenges and addresses them within the hub structure through a comprehensive approach, such as use cases and pilot studies.
