Fellows' Get Together

Session
Chairs: R. Bals (Homburg, Germany), L. Nicod (Lausanne, Switzerland)
Aims: To bring together ERS Fellows who were awarded an ERS Fellowship between 1997 and 2013, as well as experts involved in the reviewing procedure of the applications, and to communicate their experience to anyone interested in applying for an ERS Fellowship. In addition, this conference intends to provide a valuable networking platform for young individuals who wish to interact with experienced ERS Officers or who wish to share their experiences with other young fellows. A special focus this year will be on the topics ‘How to write a good successful grant application’ by Rory R. Morty (ERS Evaluation Committee Representative) and ‘The future of respiratory medicine and young fellows’ by Stephen Holgate (ERS Scientific Committee Chair).
