INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS 2015 AMSTERDAM netherlands, 26–30 september CONGRESS GUIDE ERSCONGRESS.ORG ERS AMSTERDAM 2015 WelprogrammeCome TO amS outlineterDam ■ WELCOME FROM THE ERS PRESIDENT I am honoured to be hosting the 25th International Congress of the European Respiratory Society in my home city of Amsterdam. Amsterdam is famous for its international trade and it is fitting that the ERS Congress is held in a city that has reaped the benefits from an international outlook. It is imperative that we, as respiratory professionals, mirror this approach and work together as an international network to achieve our goal of promoting lung health and combating lung diseases. The scientific and educational programme promises to deliver a wealth of new material from all sections of respiratory health and disease. The Chairs of the Scientific and Education Councils, together with all the ERS officers, work on the programme throughout the year to ensure it delivers the very best results from the latest Professor Elisabeth Bel research, meeting the needs of respiratory professionals ERS PRESIDENT in all disciplines. This year we have taken the landmark decision to provide the congress scientific and educational programme in a digital format only. With the growth in digital platforms over the last ten years, there is no better time to provide our delegates with all the materials and tools needed in a digital format. Instead of a printed copy, the programme will be available on the Congress website where users can easily browse all the sessions, build their own personal itinerary, and download and print abstracts of interest. All these features will also be available on the Congress App, which is free to download and will be available from August. In addition, this is a further step forward in our 20-point plan to ensure that we are being eco-friendly in as many areas as possible. The success of our society depends on our dedicated and loyal members, and to those of you who join us for our Congress each year. I'd like to extend a warm welcome to all the new members who have joined us this year, as we have seen our numbers rise due to our new membership strategy with national and international societies. I look forward to seeing you all in Amsterdam, for our 25th Congress, which looks set to be one of the biggest events in the respiratory calendar. ERS AMSTERDAM 2015 WelprogrammeCome TO amS outlineterDam ■ WELCOME FROM THE CONGRESS CHAIRS We are delighted to welcome you to Amsterdam for the prestigious ERS International Congress. Amsterdam is the perfect location to host the 25th ERS Congress. Alongside the stimulating and ground- breaking science set to be delivered in the Congress programme, the vibrant atmosphere of this historic city centre is sure to capture your imagination. The Netherlands has produced some of the key inventions in the medical field, with Dutch medical professionals producing the first diagnostic electrocardiogram in 1901 and the first kidney dialysis machine in 1943. A physician-scientist and former mayor of the city of Amsterdam, Nicolaes Tulp, was also one of the first to report the link between smoking and adverse effects on the lungs in 1641. Tulp is best known for being the subject Christian Taube Pieter Hiemstra of a Rembrandt painting, The Anatomy Lesson of Dr CONGRESS CO-CHAIR CONGRESS CHAIR Nicolaes Tulp (1632). At this time, in the 1600s, Amsterdam was a great metropolis and seen as a site of global trade and scientific innovation. The Dutch Golden Age was characterised by a climate of intellectual tolerance. This allowed for greater scientific exploration than in some other European countries, where novel scientific ideas were often met with suspicion. This quickly led to the Netherlands, and Amsterdam in particular, becoming Europe's publishing centre, which quickly attracted scientists and leading thinkers. In 2015, Amsterdam will once more be attracting the brightest minds, as international leaders in the respiratory field descend on our city for the ERS International Congress. The hottest scientific discoveries, alongside the latest clinical science, will be on offer for respiratory professionals from all disciplines. We have a range of interesting sessions in store for you. The first Russia Day will be held in Amsterdam, following on from the successes of Spanish and China Day at the last ERS International Congress. There will also be further integration of high-quality science into the programme, an array of educational sessions and the drawing in of wider disciplines from outside the respiratory field, for example, regenerative medicine, ageing and the environment. We will also launch the next Healthy Lungs for Life campaign to ensure we are reaching all stakeholders in respiratory medicine. We look forward to seeing you at the Congress, when we will continue the Amsterdam spirit of innovation and push the boundaries of respiratory medicine.
