4th European Bronchiectasis Workshop – Pre-Conference Course for Junior Professionals is a clinical research in bronchiectasis course that is open to young researchers and clinicians below the age of 42 with a specific interest in understanding how to become investigators in this field.

The 4th European Bronchiectasis Workshop serves as a premier gathering for sharing and discussing the most recent findings related to the diagnosis and management of Bronchiectasis. Besides the goals of updating and educating the scientific community, aggregating the European Bronchiectasis experts in Paris in 2025 may have a great value to strongly advocate for the recognition of the disease in France and in other European countries where it is still neglected.

This European Respiratory Society (ERS) / European Reference Network (ERN-LUNG) collaborative course will present the latest understanding and advice on the management of rare lung diseases. Due to the small number of people affected with rare lung diseases, diagnosis can be difficult and treatment options are limited. This online course will provide an overview on how to diagnose and treat rare lung diseases, including interstitial lung diseases, pulmonary hypertension, cystic fibrosis, primary ciliary dyskinesia, non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis, rare obstructive lung diseases and rare thoracic cancers.

Physicians learn mostly from the cases they have seen in clinical practice and discussed with their colleagues. The authors of the case learning section therefore believe that learning with cases is the best way to master medicine. The cases are presented in an interactive way from symptom to diagnosis including self-evaluation of the participants` knowledge. At the end of each section, references for further reading are displayed.

PVRI 2025 is a three-day conference with panel discussions and poster presentations on all aspects of pulmonary vascular disease. The theme of the meeting is “Embracing Heterogeneity”, and it will explore heterogeneity in disease presentation, heterogeneity in disease pathobiology, and how this heterogeneity may be leveraged to improve outcomes in human clinical trials.

To provide up-to-date information on the daily practice of pulmonologists, respiratory scientists and allied health professionals, in order to improve their knowledgebase, 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.

The XII 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.

In this course, the attendees will learn the basis of the peer-review process in a specialised respiratory journal, specifically, how manuscript submissions are being processed, assessed, and eventually accepted.

The purpose of ERS HERMES Examination is to assess the knowledge of candidates in respiratory medicine. As this is a summative assessment, the purpose is to distinguish successful candidates, who prove that their knowledge is up-to-date and matches European standards in respiratory medicine.

This webinar will inform the participants on the latest developments in COPD treatment and their impact on disease management. Furthermore, practical suggestions will help in guiding the management of patients in the daily practice.

This online course will provide an overview of the field of Interstitial Lung Diseases (ILDs). Participants will learn which diagnostic procedures should be applied based on given clinical circumstances and will receive updates on specific diseases and treatment. This interactive course includes live round table discussions and ILD board discussions. Course attendees will have the opportunity to present their pre-recorded cases and discuss them with leading experts.

This course is aimed at qualified medical doctors/pulmonologists with previous experience in performing regular bronchoscopies, who want to further train in diagnostic and therapeutic interventional pulmonology. The course is devoted to hands-on workshops and theoretical teaching of different interventional procedures in accordance with international requirements.

The Union World Conference on Lung Health is the world’s largest gathering of clinicians and public health workers, health programme managers, policymakers, researchers and advocates working to end the suffering caused by lung diseases, with a focus specifically on the challenges faced by low-and lower-middle income populations.

The virtual school on lung transplantation aims at providing state of the art knowledge in Lung Transplantation covering the following: referral criteria and selection of potential lung transplant candidates; donor organs; supply, management and selection; the early and long-term management and care of lung transplant recipients; immunosuppression and its side-effects; specific clinical and organizational issues for newly established or running lung transplant programs will be discussed.

This course is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the physiological basis of exercise testing, to identify the indications and the protocols used in clinical and rehabilitation settings as well as the increased importance of exercise testing in the prognostic setting.
