COPD Istanbul

Welcome

Dear Friends,
 
After a successful with the COPD Istanbul project in 2014, we are proud and happy to welcome you to the third edition, which will take place between 17 - 19 April 2015.
COPD ISTANBUL 2015 will mark the annual COPD Conference which will be held at Harbiye Military Museum / Istanbul

The conference will be attended by a wide range of professionals such as industry leaders, university academics and researchers from all the regions including Turkey, Middle East, Asia, North Africa and Europe. Our approach to this project is both simple and effective: we come together to exchange and debate today’s knowledge on COPD, in order to prepare for and contribute to the future. Therefore it should not surprise you that we focus on young scientists in the field, who are looking to broaden their horizon and develop their careers.
 
The high level of our scientific faculty guarantees an inspiring atmosphere for all attendees, and of course we will make sure that the format of our sessions and gatherings allow you to successfully interact with your peers. Thus we look forward to receiving suggestions from potential participants on the topics and issues they would like to see discussed and presented.

We invite especially the young researchers, who would love to present their work to known and yet unknown specialists. There will be ample opportunity for discussions and networking. Special sessions will be created for those who wish to present their latest work.

All of this content will be made available to you near the beautiful blue of the Bosphorus in Istanbul. We look forward to welcoming you at COPD ISTANBUL 2015.

Best wishes,

Prof. Mario Cazzola, Italy Chair	Prof. Nikolaos Siafakas, Greece Vice-chair	Prof. Gunseli Kilinc, Turkey Vice-chair
