Abstract

Read online

The Translational Science Working Group at the European Respiratory Society (ERS) aims to bridge the gap between basic and clinical science by providing a platform where scientists, clinicians and experts in the respiratory field can actively shape translational research. For the 2023 Congress, dedicated translational science sessions were created and sessions of interest to many assemblies from the clinical and the scientific point of view were tagged as translational sessions, attracting clinical and scientific experts to the same room to discuss relevant topics and strengthening translational efforts among all ERS assemblies.
