The International Respiratory Coalition (IRC) will be at ERS Congress 2026, the biggest event in the respiratory calendar, taking place in Barcelona from 5 to 9 September. This year’s congress theme, which focuses on partnerships between patients, clinicians and researchers, closely mirrors IRC’s mission and work in bringing together health professionals, persons living with a lung condition, organisations and policymakers to advance respiratory health.
Across two sessions in the World Village auditorium, we will explore:
- how national coalitions are using data and patient voices to drive advocacy and policy change
- a first look at this year’s Lung Facts update
IRC will also host a networking session on Wednesday, 9 September, for coalition members and partners.
