The European Respiratory Society (ERS) International Congress is the largest respiratory meeting of its kind. Congress features a variety of session types to ensure formats are engaging and provide varying levels of interaction and focused presentations.
Please note the information below is subject to change.
Including the ALERT sessions (Abstracts Leading to Evolution in Respiratory Medicine Trials), these formats showcase important and very late-breaking clinical trial data from all respiratory disease areas. Presenters, session chairs and viewers will take part in lively discussions on the presented trials.
Abstract authors present their research in poster format in these sessions. The sessions cover all areas of respiratory medicine and science, and discussion of new data is encouraged.
In these sessions, abstracts authors present their key findings to live audiences. The sessions are moderated by experts and there is opportunity for discussion of all abstracts presented.
These interactive sessions feature well-documented clinical cases that are of interest to respiratory health professionals. Attendees are asked to give their opinions during the session by casting votes at each step of the diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.
These interactive sessions cover eight key areas of respiratory medicine. A panel of experts is put to the test against the audience to diagnose real-life clinical cases. Each session is led by two discussants who will present the cases, and who are the only persons in the room with the details of the cases. They will prompt lively discussions about the presented cases, while the panel and audience answer multiple-choice questions. The audience can also send their own questions throughout the session. The aim is to give the audience an opportunity to study real-life clinical cases, to learn and exchange ideas with a panel of respiratory experts, and to analyse the various diagnostic and therapeutic options.
Lectures
There are a wide range of engaging lecture-style sessions included in the congress programme to facilitate the sharing of the latest information, research and clinical best practices.
ERS members are invited to join these interactive meetings to get the latest updates from their Assembly, including information on funding opportunities, upcoming deadlines and ongoing projects.
In these sessions, researchers present their recently published high-impact articles from the European Respiratory Journal, New England Journal of Medicine, Journal of the American Medical Association and The Lancet.
To recognise the global reach of the ERS International Congress, we are pleased to be able to offer a number of sessions in languages other than English.
State-of-the-art sessions cover eight key topics in the respiratory field and feature high-quality presentations delivered by world-leading clinical experts. Following these sessions, delegates will have the most up-to-date, clear and practical take-home knowledge relating to diagnosis, treatment and prevention.
Skills labs allow delegates to experience a range of clinical skills used day to day by respiratory professionals. The labs will explain the procedures, devices and roles of the multi-disciplinary team, and in some cases touch on the interpretation of the results.
Skills workshops are designed to allow participants to gain practical skills in different disciplines of respiratory medicine. These sessions revolve around workstations and use interactive demonstrations and hands-on training instead of traditional presentations and lectures. The maximum number of participants is 32 per skills workshop. Registration for these workshops is additional to the congress registration fee.
These sessions aim to provide team leaders, supervisors, senior respiratory physicians and more with practical tips and guidelines on non-scientific topics such as ethics, communication, education principles and teamwork.
As a part of the ERS Congress 2022, a week-long virtual event dedicated to postgraduate courses will be organised, where medical practitioners will have the opportunity to align their current procedures with the latest clinical best practice. These lecture-based sessions include dedicated time for interaction between participants and faculty. Participants will put knowledge into practice by taking part in group tasks led by top level faculty. Registration for these courses is additional to the congress registration fee.
