Welcome to the 4^th European Bronchiectasis Workshop

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

It is our great pleasure to invite you to participate and, more importantly, to actively contribute to the 4^th European Bronchiectasis Workshop (EBROW 2023).

Previous editions of the World Bronchiectasis Conference series (Milan 2017, Virtual Edition 2020, Prague 2022) have seen attendances of more than 400 participants from all over the World, with each edition enjoying excellent participant engagement through the presentation of abstracts (90 per edition in average). The 1^st and 2^nd European Bronchiectasis Workshops – Vienna July 2019, Virtually July 2021, saw over 200 specialists meet to face and discuss the most relevant arguments on the subject. The community continued to grow in 2023 with a participation of more than 350 specialists at the 3^rd European Bronchiectasis Workshop in Milan and more than 500 specialists at the 6^th World Bronchiectasis Conference in New York.

Indeed, the last years have been amazing for the bronchiectasis international community, with an increasing understanding of the physiopathology mechanisms behind the disease, the clarification of the epidemiology through EMBARC and National Registries, the design and realisation of clinical studies which provide hope for new possible therapies in the near future.

Besides the usual goals of updating and educating the scientific community, aggregating the European Bronchiectasis experts in Paris in 2025 may have a great value to strongly advocate for the recognition of the disease in France and in other European countries.

We would therefore be delighted if you would consider attending and actively contribute to the 3^rd European Bronchiectasis Workshop.

Yours Sincerely,

The Organising Committee of the 4^th European Bronchiectasis Workshop
