With the establishment of the Global PCD Conference, there will no longer be a separate BEAT-PCD research meeting held ahead of the European Respiratory Society (ERS) Congress. However, we would like to invite everyone attending the ERS Congress who is interested in BEAT-PCD activities to join our BEAT-PCD Management Committee Meeting on Saturday 5 September at 14:00 CET.
The meeting will provide an opportunity to hear about the latest achievements and ongoing activities across BEAT-PCD, learn more about current research projects, receive an update from our PCD patient partners, and discuss future priorities for the network.
In-person attendance is only possible in person and is open to ERS-registered participants.
