The European Respiratory Society (ERS) is one of the largest and most important societies in respiratory medicine and an important partner of the German Center for Lung Research (DZL). The society aims to promote science, education, and advocacy around the topic of lung health to alleviate suffering from disease and advance medical progress in the field of respiratory diseases worldwide.
The annual ERS International Congress will be held in 2021 from September 5-8 as an online congress. Respiratory experts worldwide will connect online to present and discuss the latest scientific and clinical advances in respiratory medicine.
Each year at the congress, the ERS presents several prestigious awards to recognize the achievements of leaders in the field of respiratory medicine.
