#ERSCongress
Registration is now open for the European Respiratory Society (ERS) Congress 2026. This is the once-a-year occasion when the world's respiratory experts come together to present and discuss their latest discoveries across the full spectrum of respiratory medicine, including asthma, COPD, obstructive sleep apnoea, lung cancer and children’s lung health, as well as the impacts of air pollution, vaping and smoking.
The theme of this year’s Congress is ‘United for better breathing’ focusing on patients, clinicians and researchers working together to shape research, treatment and care in lung disease.
The preliminary programme is now available but may be subject to changes:

We welcome the media to the ERS Congress 2026, where the majority of sessions are open to journalists. A press centre with internet connection, printing facilities and interview rooms will be available. Scientific sessions will also be live streamed, and most recordings will become available online for registered media within 24 hours of each session. The official language for the ERS Congress is English.
We strongly recommend you register now, rather than onsite in Barcelona, and book your accommodation.
