Welcome to the

10^th Workshop on Lung Health

Respiratory Diseases and Immune Response

Dear Colleagues & Friends,

It’s a great pleasure – as Presidents and Chairmen – to welcome you to the 10^th Edition of the International Workshop on Lung Health which takes place from January 19^th to January 21^st, 2023, in Nice (Saint Laurent du Var).

In 2023 we celebrate the 10 Edition of our respiratory medicine international family Meeting. Having re-started in 2022, we look forward to welcoming you in Nice for this  celebratory edition with an enthusiastic and rich “on site” event,  whilst maintaining the hybrid format that  successfully allows the attendance of participants from remote countries  and anyone  with travel and job limitations.

The fil rouge of the 10^th International Workshop on Lung Health – “Respiratory Diseases and Immune Response” – is the main theme which embraces sessions, lectures and symposia. The pandemic taught us that the correct reading and understanding of the Immune Response could be one of the most important allies in medical practice, fighting against viruses, bacteria, pathologies and multifaceted conditions. Not considering the Immune system in its complexity and penetrating activity could bring fatal errors.

During the three Workshop days we   will discuss all the major and outbreaking topics of Respiratory Medicine: from Asthma and COPD through to Respiratory Infections, covering also Interstitial and Rare Disesases,. Our aim is to give participants and faculty a new perspective on these themes, where the immune response plays a key role  in facing these pathologies and conditions.

The 10^th  Edition of the International Workshop on Lung Health will once again renew its commitment to the experts of tomorrow. The successful activities of Rising Stars, FUHEL Programme and Posters Calls continue to be protagonists -of the Meeting.

The peaceful environment of the Bay of Nice will welcome us at the end of January 2023, giving us the opportunity of three constructive working days. We invite all of you, faculty, participants and pharmaceutical company representatives to send us your suggestions and ideas which you retain important to focus on. We look forward to meeting your enthusiasm in contributing to the Workshop development and implementation!

We invite you to enjoy the congress and actively contribute to its success!

Yours Sincerely,

The Organizing and Scientific Committee
