The first ERS Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Conference 2026 is organised in collaboration with EARCO and endorsed by ERN-Lung. This two-day meeting will gather clinicians, scientists, laboratory experts and patient representatives to review current knowledge, present new findings and discuss future directions in AATD research and care.

The ERS Congress is the once-a-year occasion during which world’s respiratory professionals and experts meet in a European city to exchange views and share knowledge.

This session provides a unique opportunity to test your applied knowledge in paediatric respiratory medicine against 30 high-quality, case-based multiple-choice questions, selected from the question pool of the ERS HERMES European examination in paediatric respiratory medicine. All answers are then explained and discussed with a content expert.

This session provides a unique opportunity to test your applied knowledge in adult respiratory medicine against 30 high-quality, case-based multiple-choice questions, selected from the question pool of the ERS HERMES European examination in adult respiratory medicine. All answers are then explained and discussed with a content expert.

The WASOG 2026 will centre on this critical and evolving area of research Sarcoidosis and Interstitial Lung Disease. Each theme will have several sessions, and will include a mixture of basic/translational and clinical science as well as best practice advice. Sessions will include a mixture of didactic lectures, debates and case presentations with lots of time for lively discussion.

This course is aimed at pulmonologists and thoracic surgeons who want to train in diagnostic and therapeutic interventional pulmonology. As a rule, one third of the course is devoted to hands-on workshops and two thirds to the theoretical aspects of bronchoscopy or thoracoscopy. Each course is tutored by four to six internationally recognised experts.

This course is aimed at paediatricians and pulmonologists who want to gain a solid understanding of diagnostic and therapeutic paediatric bronchoscopy. The course focuses on the theoretical foundations of bronchoscopy, providing comprehensive knowledge of the techniques, indications, and interpretation of findings.

The 9th World Bronchiectasis Conference serves as a premier gathering for sharing and discussing the most recent findings related to the diagnosis and management of Bronchiectasis. The conference will cover a broad range of topics, including: Basic Science, Clinical Trials Comorbidities, Cystic Fibrosis and Bronchiectasis Immunology & Inflammation, Infections, Management & Organisation of a clinical service NTM — Nontuberculous Mycobacteria Nurses and Allied Healthcare Professionals experiences, Paediatric Bronchiectasis Patient experience PCD — Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia Respiratory Physiotherapy & Airway Clearance Registries Treatments, Microbiota NTM – Nontuberculous Mycobacteria Nursing and Allied Healthcare experiences Paediatric Bronchiectasis PCD – Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia Pollution & Climate change and their effects on Lung Health with a special focus on Bronchiectasis and NTM Respiratory Physiotherapy & Airway Clearance Treatments & New Drugs Tuberculosis and its connection with Bronchiectasis

The main aim of the meeting is educational, and the speakers have been specifically invited to translate in their lectures the most important recent discoveries to the potential improvement of clinical practice. A significant proportion of time (40%) will be devoted to discussion.

This course offers the latest insight into pulmonary rehabilitation, bringing together the viewpoints of both clinicians and physiotherapists. Participants will be provided with a comprehensive overview on when and how treatments should be delivered taking into account the latest guidelines in the field, as well as promising new tools and approaches.

To promote knowledge in Paediatric Respiratory Medicine

The translation workshop reviews content of newly authored Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) for use in future examinations. Participants review and edit exam MCQs which were previously translated by artificial intelligence.

This four-day meeting will deliver a highly interactive and multidisciplinary scientific programme, combining plenary sessions, symposia, educational sessions, skills-based workshops, oral presentations, conversation cafés, and poster sessions based on submitted research abstracts. A strong emphasis is placed on participation and collaboration, with many sessions designed in workshop formats to encourage discussion, debate, and shared learning. The conference will explore innovative approaches to improving respiratory care in diverse healthcare settings. International experts will address key global challenges, including COPD, asthma, rhinitis, respiratory infections, tobacco dependence, and environmental impacts on lung health, while focusing on practical, real-world solutions adaptable to different regions and resource levels. The conference is held alongside the first North African Interdisciplinary Respiratory Forum, creating a unique platform to examine how healthcare systems can optimise roles across professions and regions.
