Conferences & symposia 

The NRS has the objective to organize and facilitate conferences and symposia. This is important as it brings scientists all around the Netherlands together and may lead to more collaboration and synergy in research. Several symposia have been organized for many years now and have proven to be successful, e.g. Young Investigators Symposium (YIS) and the Animal Symposium. Other symposia and conferences have been organized more on an incidental basis and comprise various topics such as Chronic Fatigue or Life Long Lung (LLL). In addition, the NRS is involved in the organization of the Lung Week in Ermelo. This meeting is taking place each year in the spring and brings together respiratory researchers, lung patients and pulmonologists.
