Abstract

The @ERStalk #LSC2019 in Estoril, Portugal, provides early career members with various opportunities to get actively involved in the ERS and to strengthen their network
http://ow.ly/n0PC30lp2V3

The European Respiratory Society (ERS) Lung Science Conference (LSC) is a yearly conference taking place in Estoril, near Lisbon, Portugal. From March 7 to 10, 2019, around 200 pulmonary researchers and clinicians from all over the world will attend the LSC to discuss the theme of “Mechanisms of acute exacerbation of respiratory disease”. Next to the obviously outstanding scientific programme (available from https://cdn.ersnet.org/static/path/documents/programme/LSC2019WebsiteProgramme090818.pdf), the LSC also offers a lot of opportunities for motivated ERS Early Career Members (ECMs).

First of all, the LSC is a relatively small scientific meeting but with a high density of world-leading experts in their respective fields and members of the ERS Leadership. Thus, it is a great place to network, and to get yourself and your research known to these important people. There are many slots available for posters and oral presentations. Every year, the best five ECM abstracts are chosen and allocated to the Young Investigator Session where the audience chooses the winner of the prestigious William MacNee Award. Please check the webpage for more information (https://www.ersnet.org/congress-and-events/mechanisms-of-acute-exacerbation-of-respiratory-disease). ECMs can also apply for travel grants to attend this conference and, if awarded, they will be entitled to a mentorship lunch with selected mentors from the respiratory field.

A highlight for ECMs at the LSC is always the Saturday afternoon career development session (box 1). At the upcoming conference, the Early Career Member Committee (ECMC) has organised four talks dedicated to “How to advance your career”. This session will cover career tracks both in academia and in industry, and will provide information from an employer's and applicant's view: Gunilla Westergren-Thorssen and Darcy Wagner will talk about a special tenure track system for junior research groups at Lund University (Lund, Sweden), which will be followed by David Wyatt and Mark Kästle from Boehringer Ingelheim (Ingelheim, Germany) sharing insights into industrial recruiting processes. The presentations will be followed by a panel discussion with all speakers and a networking event. Both give ECMs the perfect opportunity to learn a lot, get input on your own career path and possibly establish networks beneficial for your next position.

In order to offer ECMs a first opportunity to get involved in ERS, we will invite motivated people to contribute to our highlight article summarising the great science discussed in Estoril [1, 2]. Furthermore, we plan to assign half of the session chair positions to motivated ECMs. Thus, if you already know you will attend the LSC and would like to contribute in any way, please contact Sabine Bartel (sbartel{at}fz-borstel.de).

Finally, several members of the ECMC will also be present at the LSC, enabling you to get in contact with us and to become more actively involved in the ERS. We are looking forward to meeting you in the lovely Estoril.
