Thank you!
We extend our thank you to everyone who participated in this year’s Lung Science Conference (LSC) – especially those who contributed to the extensive programme. Marking the 21st year of this event, this year’s LSC was again a hybrid event, welcoming attendees both online and on-site in Estoril, Portugal.
Registered delegates can revisit the programme and replay individual sessions, and view the eposters, through the Conference platform. Session replays and eposters will be available until 30 June, 2023.

Lung Science Conference 2024
The next Lung Science Conference will take place on 14–17 March, 2024 at the Hotel Palacio Estoril, Portugal.
The topic of LSC 2024 will be:
‘Development of chronic lung diseases: from life-spanning mechanisms to preventive therapy’
