Registration has opened for the ERS Congress 2024. The event will take place in Vienna, Austria from 7–11 September and will again offer both in-person and online attendance options.
Now in its 34th year, the ERS Congress remains to be a major highlight of the respiratory calendar – offering something to all respiratory professionals regardless of specialty area or career level.
Registration has opened with an initial early-bird registration offer – available until 3 July. Anyone registering before the early-bird deadline will benefit from full access to the event at a significantly discounted rate. ERS members will also benefit from an additional member discount.

ERS President Prof. Monika Gappa said: “For me, the ERS Congress is always the highlight of the respiratory medicine calendar. It reliably presents the latest in respiratory medicine, science and research across the full spectrum of respiratory diseases, and it always delivers new activities and opportunities to network – evident this year in the Wednesday special programme.”
The 2024 programme will take place over five days and include a schedule of more than 400 sessions, symposia and workshops, as well as a Wednesday programme which will showcase new and ongoing ERS initiatives.
ERS Congress 2024 Chair, Prof. Gabor Kovacs, added: “My co-chair, Dr Judith Löffler-Ragg and I, are very honoured to take the role of Congress Chair. This is set to be a truly engaging Congress with a diverse crowd. I am excited for the scientific sessions and to take the incredibly valuable opportunities to discuss the latest findings and shared challenges with colleagues from round the world.
“I am also looking forward to the sessions dedicated to this year’s Congress theme ‘Humans and machines: getting the balance right’. I feel that this theme, more than most, is addressing a hot topic which cuts across all specialties and which is rapidly progressing. It’s a fitting and timely theme for this event.”
Registration and accommodation information for the ERS Congress 2024 is all available on the official ERS web pages. Please note that onsite spaces in Vienna may sell out, so early registration is advised.
As part of the registration process, ERS is asking registrants to consider donating an optional €5 towards two projects which support communities to make important changes – impacting environmental sustainability and access to clean air.
Last year, 20% of delegates opted to make a €5 donation to two climate protection projects selected by ERS. This year, ERS has added this optional donation to the registration form once again and asks for delegates to help beat last year’s contribution.
ERS pledges to double every donation made. 100% of those funds will support communities to make important changes, which impact environmental sustainability and access to clean air. Read more about the chosen projects in Burundi and the Himalayas.
