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.

Membership of ePAGs

ePAG Logo - European Patient Advocacy Group

Membership of ePAGs is open to all rare disease patient organisations (EURORDIS members and non-membersย based in the European Union). ePAGs can only benefit from the flow of ideas between a range of member organisations and advocates.

Are you interested in designating a patient representative to get involved in the European Reference Networks (ERNs) as an ePAG advocate? European Patient Advocacy Groups are open to rare disease patient organisations (EURORDIS members and non-members) operating in any ofย these European countries.

At the moment, we specially encourage applications from:

  • Patient organisations fromย Eastern and Northern European countries;
  • Patient organisations covering theย disease areasย included onย this list.

For more information on ERNs and the role of ePAG advocates you may watchย this videoย and read thisย short guide.
