ERS Task Forces
ERS Task forces including one or several other societies should be submitted through the usual ERS Task Force online application form. The next ERS Task Force call for 2023 will open in July, with the deadline of 1 October, 2023.
ERS methodology:
ERS recommends the application of the same methodology for joint Task Forces as for ERS-only projects. In case of doubt or question, the ERS in-house methodologist can be contacted.

Patient involvement:
ERS recognises that the involvement of patients in Task Forces is valuable, and we work very closely with the European Lung Foundation (ELF) to ensure that patient perspectives are represented in ERS guidelines.
