Research Seminars

About

Research Seminars gather a small number (20 to 100) of well-established and preferably young investigators to address scientific topics in depth and help break new ground. Research Seminars take place over two days in easy-to-reach European cities. They are scientific Seminars involving recently published work and research in progress. Participation is fully supported by the budget granted by the ERS.

Dyspnoea: multidimensional and multidisciplinary

With this Research Seminar, we aimed to provide state-of-the art advances on the multidimensional and multidisciplinary aspects of dyspnoea. To do so, we gathered an international panel of experts and crafted a program that addressed several issues regarding dyspnoea.
