We are delighted to share that a variety of pre-Congress content is available on the virtual Congress platform. The materials, including abstracts, e-posters and pre-recorded sessions, are available to all and offer a taste of what’s to come in the exciting live programme.
Join us for a day’s worth of free online sessions dedicated to SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 ahead of the three-day main event. Live presentations will discuss some of the latest data available on the disease, from its basic science and epidemiology to the post-care of COVID-19 patients.
CME credits will be available to claim for live sessions attended during the main programme and the COVID-19 live programme. The credits will be calculated based on the time you spend watching and interacting with a live session and your attendance will be monitored automatically.
In honour of Congress, we’ll be offering free shipping on all print ERS Handbooks and Monographs ordered before 30 September, 2020. And to celebrate the ERS Monograph’s 25th birthday, you'll be able to claim 25% off print Monographs or $25 off all Monograph eBooks ordered before 31 October, 2020 using the code ‘ERSMis25’ at the checkout. Offers are available from 5 September, 2020.
The European Lung Foundation (ELF) is pleased to involve its network of patient organisations in the Congress programme in order to provide a patient perspective in scientific and educational sessions and promote the wider participation of patients in healthcare worldwide.
This year's World Village will be an interactive virtual hub which brings together more than 50 national and regional respiratory societies from 46 countries. Launching on 7 September, the hub will be an opportunity for participants to learn about respiratory healthcare activities on a national level, become a member of their local society and find out more about patient organisations.
