This event aims to bring together a multidisciplinary panel of experts to advance understanding of how early‑life exposures interact with the developing lungs and immune system, and how these interactions influence respiratory health throughout life. The seminar focuses specifically on the perinatal and childhood periods and will provide a state‑of‑the‑art scientific overview, patient insights, and future directions for clinical practice and research.

Pneumo Update Europe 2026 is a congress where physicians will receive a complete update in Pneumology. The most relevant clinical papers of the last year are reviewed and put into perspective. There are many opportunities for interaction: speaker’s corners, open discussion during the lectures and interactive case discussion, along with Livechat through the livestream.

The Pre-Conference Workshops of the 14th Meeting of the International Society of Pneumonia and Pneumococcal Diseases will offer an in-depth and practical learning experience ahead of the main congress. These interactive sessions will cover essential and emerging topics in pneumococcal and pneumonia research, including classic laboratory identification techniques, whole genome sequencing for strain characterisation, target trial emulation, vaccine immunogenicity and real-world effectiveness, advances in molecular diagnostics, and strategies to sustain pneumonia control programs in low and middle-income countries.

The 14th Meeting of the International Society of Pneumonia and Pneumococcal Diseases (ISPPD-14) will focus on the latest advancements in pneumonia and pneumococcal disease research, addressing critical topics such as basic science, microbiology, epidemiology, treatment, and prevention. ISPPD-14 aims to foster cross-disciplinary collaboration and stimulate discussions that will push the boundaries of knowledge in the field.

The workshop reviews content of newly authored Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) for use in future examinations, including guidance on correct MCQ formatting, group discussions and standard setting for assessments. Participants contribute new MCQs prior to the event, after followings MCQs writing training protocols and guidelines.

This course is dedicated to develop skills and knowledge in the field of rigid bronchoscopy which is the basis of interventional therapeutic bronchoscopy.

This course is aimed at developing an epidemiological perspective that integrates occupational and environmental exposures into the differential diagnosis of major respiratory disease patterns, considering these exposures both as potential causes and as factors influencing recovery. The course will offer guidance on managing key exposure determinants that contribute to respiratory illness and participants will gain a practical framework for taking exposure-focused histories to better identify and address relevant factors in clinical practice.

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.

European Workshop on Bronchiectasis and Chronic Cough in Children and Adolescents brings together leading global experts to explore the mechanisms, diagnosis, and management of bronchiectasis and chronic wet cough in paediatric and adolescent populations. The workshop highlights emerging clinical trials, immunology and infections, physiotherapy and airway clearance strategies, nutrition, and real-world patient and multidisciplinary experiences.

To provide up-to-date information on the daily practice of pulmonologists, respiratory scientists and allied health professionals, in order to improve their knowledge-base, and, ultimately, to improve the overall quality of patient care. The information disseminated during the webinar should introduce the basic concepts and established techniques rather than scientific work in progress.

This three-part programme aims to train participants to independently perform thoracic ultrasound to diagnose and treat patients with lung diseases.

This course aims to improve the early and accurate diagnosis of peripheral pulmonary nodules by training pulmonologists in advanced image-guided navigation and biopsy techniques. Using advanced imaging-based technologies, clinicians can enhance navigation, perform safer biopsies, and potentially enable future local treatments, ultimately improving diagnostic accuracy, patient safety, and comfort. The course is specifically tailored for pulmonologists with advanced endoscopic expertise, who are proficient in basic bronchoscopy and have experience with cancer diagnostic procedures and endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS).

This course provides a comprehensive overview of granuloma formation as a non-specific immune response that can affect individuals of any age and gender. Participants will explore the genetic predispositions, infectious triggers, environmental factors, autoimmune conditions, and malignancies linked to granuloma development. Beyond disease-specific contexts, this course will present a cross-disciplinary perspective on the causes, diagnostic approaches, and therapeutic strategies for granulomatous diseases. By bridging basic science and clinical practice, the course fosters collaboration between researchers, clinicians, and patients to advance understanding and care.

The XIII International Workshop on Lung Health is an international meeting devoted to the last updates in Respiratory Medicine. The workshop will also cover, as per tradition, a wide range of topics in the field of respiratory medicine, such as respiratory infections, asthma, COPD and related pathologies. Following the request of participants, it will include key insights and updates on rare respiratory diseases like ILD, IPF, RSV, LAM, EGPA, Bronchiectasis and NTM. Hybrid realisation of the event with a LIVE Streaming.
