Current and evolving tests in lung function: pro/con debate

Symposium
Chairs: I. Steenbruggen (Zwolle, Netherlands), N. Roche (Paris, France)
Aims: to stage pro and con debates that will challenge our perceptions of current and evolving tests in lung function assessment. Three pro and con debates, each involving two speakers, will be presented. In each debate, the speakers will each deliver a sharp 12 minute presentation and there will be a 10 minute open discussion after both speakers have spoken. Thereafter, an update on the Global Lung Function Initiative (GLI) will be provided.
