Extract
Assembly 12 is a dynamic, new ERS assembly that arose following the continuous expansion of Clinical Assembly group 1.5 (diffuse parenchymal lung disease). It focuses on interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) and accommodates the following groups: 12.01) idiopathic interstitial pneumonias; 12.02) ILD/diffuse parenchymal lung diseases (DPLD) of known origin; 12.03) sarcoidosis and other granulomatous ILD/DPLD; and 12.04) rare ILD/DPLD. Following its creation in September 2017, Assembly 12 gathered 4% of all the ERS members affiliated to an assembly. The number of members in Assembly 12 has been steadily increasing, reaching a total of 735 in August 2018. Group 12.01 (idiopathic interstitial pneumonias) is the most popular group. Young respiratory scientists have strong representation in our Assembly, up to 39% of the Assembly members are early career members.
