The European Respiratory Society (ERS) is now accepting abstracts and clinical case submissions for the ERS International Congress 2022.
The deadline to submit is 15 February 2022 at 23:59 CET.
Submitting abstracts for congress offers researchers the chance to share their preliminary findings at the world’s largest respiratory meeting, helping to boost research as it progresses and enabling the exchange of the latest findings in respiratory medicine and science. All congress abstracts are also published online in a supplement of the European Respiratory Journal.
Check the guidelines and instructions for submitting abstracts.
