The purpose is to support the creation of two new guidelines and the update of five existing ones. A consortium of Spanish Academia institutions will support the ERNs during the process, providing methodological support and a methodologist expert will be integrated in the expert panel. Many ERNs already have Guideline groups and collaboration with learned societies in guidelines development, that will be involved in the project as well.
