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.

Pulmonary inflammation in paediatric respiratory disease

Lung diseases that start during infancy and childhood have common features and fundamental differences. The objective of this seminar was to look at airway inflammation as a cause of and a consequence of four specific lung diseases that start during childhood and can have long-term consequences up to and through adulthood.
