INARC

International Network for ALS Research and Care

The International Network for ALS Research and Care (INARC) is a network of nurses, study coordinators and other professionals involved in ALS research or care. The aim of the network is to connect members and to create a platform to exchange skills and expertise.

Become a member

As an INARC member, you will be informed on the network’s activities and get access to workshops, seminars and meetings.

All staff members involved either in the clinical care of ALS patients or in clinical research with ALS patients are invited to become members of INARC. As other networks might be more specific to physicians, INARC focuses on all the other members involved in ALS research and care: nurses, study coordinators, OTs, PTs, SLPs, research nurses, and more!

Being an INARC member is free of charge, allows you to be on our mailing list and receive all the information relevant to the network, but also grants you access to INARC satellite meetings for an accessible price. This year, participating to our ENCALS meeting for the fee of €50 grants you access to the entire ENCALS conference as well (this price applies to one INARC member per ENCALS centre).
