ERN-LUNG Academy

The ERN-LUNG Academy is a curriculum for medical staff at any stage of their career, who wishes to get a proof of knowledge on rare respiratory diseases. It consists of Webinars and eCases, but also includes on-site training in ERN-LUNG Centers. We call for applications from participants of EU-member States from September to November each year. Classes start in January. If you wish to apply for next yearโ€™s class, please send a letter of motivation to info@ern-lung.eu

ERN-LUNG Online advance system

The EXpert Advisory BOard (EXABO) is a pan-European internet platform, which has been developed in the context of ERN-LUNG in liaison with the Medical Informatics Group of University Hospital Frankfurt, to answer questions on all aspects of rare respiratory diseases. The platform is primarily aimed at patients and care team members but is openly accessible by anyone who wants to ask a related question.

ERN-LUNG Academy – Update

ERN-Lung Academy

The 2026 Academy has started in January with 71 participants from 15 EU countries and 11 non-EU countries. We have for the first time one participant from Cyprus, and one from Finland. The most frequent nationality this year is from Romania – for the 3 past years in a row most participants came from Italy. 50 Webinars and a week of practical stay in one of our network’s hospitals seem to attract respiratory physicians, nurses and physiotherapists from all over Europe and beyond. We want to thank again all hospitals who agree to take in one or several participants for a week to show them around – you contribute to creating a fantastic network of specialists.
