COPD Research Award Ceremony (supported by Boehringer Ingelheim) followed by Clinical Year in Review II

Session
Chairs: T. Sigsgaard (Aarhus, Denmark), E. Clini (Modena, Italy)
Aims: This session will offer the possibility to review four topics of paramount interest for clinicians and fellows in training. This will highlight the new and emerging clinical concepts in the management of respiratory-related diseases and conditions.
