Established in November 2019, Lungs Europe is a Brussels-based organisation which is an official partnership between the European Lung Foundation (ELF) and the European Respiratory Society (ERS).

Lungs Europe will play a significant role in EU funding programmes and projects related to respiratory health and disease. Our mission is to ensure key messages of the EU and European policy reach all key stakeholders, including the ELF and ERS networks of healthcare professionals and patients, patient associations and the public.

Lung Europe’s activities will raise the profile of respiratory issues and promote lung health for all. We will create a hub for advocating for funding, identifying opportunities, supporting applications, and project management, stakeholder engagement and communications in EU projects.

ELF is a patient-led organisation that works internationally to bring patients and the public together with healthcare professionals to improve lung health and advance diagnosis, treatment and care.

ERS is the largest scientific and clinical organisation in respiratory medicine in Europe. Its members are scientists, clinicians, allied healthcare professionals and other experts from around the world.
