Welcome to the media centre for the European Respiratory Society (ERS) Congress.
The ERS Congress 2026 will take place from 5–9 September in Barcelona, Spain, and online. ERS welcomes the interest of press in respiratory issues and can provide free congress registration (onsite or online) for bona fide journalists on presentation of the required credentials/supporting documents.
Consult the media and embargo policy for details on press accreditation requirements, congress abstract embargoes and photography/video recording rules.
Applications to cover the ERS Congress 2026 as a member of the press will open soon.
Please note: Media accreditation for the ERS Congress 2026 requires a myERS account, which can be created for free.
After creating your account, please ensure that your 'Professional Category' is set to 'Press' in order to access the press registration form.
News releases that are part of the official ERS media programme will be published on the ERS website after the embargoes have lifted.
