Preview of the ERS Lung Science Conference 2023 and Sleep and Breathing Conference 2023

Abstract

In this article, we provide a brief description of the @EuroRespSoc 2023 Lung Science Conference and the Sleep and Breathing Conference https://bit.ly/3WsCzj6

The importance of translational science within the respiratory field

“…The translational science initiative aims to further shape translational research at the ERS, for example by identifying topics that are of interest to all assemblies [ 86 , 87 ], by introducing the Sunday morning pass at the annual Lung Science Conference (with a morning session focusing on clinical applications accessible via live streaming) (https://channel.ersnet.org/hp-60-1-home-replay), by offering financial support for a research seminar dedicated to translational science, and by organising the continuing medical education (CME) online module focusing on “The role of epithelial cell biology in pulmonary disease” ( https://new.ersnet.org/cme-online/modules/the-role-of-epithelial-cell-biology-in-pulmonary-disease ). We aim to improve collaboration between clinical and basic scientists, not only by attracting them to the same sessions, but also by defining highlight notices for translational clinical research collaborations ( https://www.ersnet.org/science-and-research/the-ers-translational-science-initiative/ ).…”

Lung Science Conference highlights 2023: Post-viral lung diseases – from basic immunology to clinical phenotypes and therapy

“…After their first introduction in 2022 [45], the short talks were followed again in 2023 [1] by round tables where early career delegates could ask questions to the experts, move around the tables and interact with each other. The round tables were led by the presenters of the short talks, with an additional round table on the subject of ERS fellowships, which was facilitated by Rory Morty (Germany), who was the ERS Fellowships and Awards Director prior to S. Saglani.…”

“…Following previous editions [ 2 , 3 ], the LSC 2024 will also include a career development session organised by the ERS Early Career Member Committee [ 4 ], taking place on Saturday afternoon. This year's Early Career Delegate session will focus on “The power of collaboration” and will include exciting short talks on “Academic collaboration with worldwide leaders”, “Collaboration with industrial partners”, “Early career collaboration with respiratory peers”, “When/where/how to get started in the collaboration cycle?”, and “Where successful collaborations are a must and how ERS can help you accessing these opportunities”.…”
