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.

Strategy Working Group Meeting

The second Strategy Working Group meeting was held in November, and was focussed on the current activities, but more importantly, the future of ERN-LUNG. The transition of some Working packages to Bicetre (Paris) has been initiated. It was also decided that the ultimate goal of ERN-LUNG, Cross-border Care, should get more attention. CPMS is part of this, but the actual transfer of patients (or of biosamples) is an issue which should be re-organised. JARDIN (the integration of the ERNs into the national health systems) was another dicussed topic. The next Strategy WG meeting should take place next spring.
