June 11–14, 2026 · Cluj-Napoca, Romania
A European Respiratory Medicine Conference That Does Not Feel Like One
Four days in Cluj-Napoca. 47 speakers. One shared premise: better respiratory medicine starts with better clinical thinking.
Science with a Drop of Magic
Built for physicians who are done with passive conferences
BREATHE exists because the standard medical-conference model is broken: too much passive listening, too little intellectual friction, and too few moments that change how clinicians actually think at the bedside. This is a pan-European respiratory meeting designed for residents, fellows, early-career specialists, and ambitious clinicians who want sharper reasoning, not just more slides.
Respiratory medicine does not suffer from lack of information. It suffers from fragmented teaching, siloed conversations, and formats that reward passive note-taking instead of better clinical judgment.
BREATHE uses structured pairings, active participation, and deliberate disagreement to turn scientific content into something more useful: better questions, better discussion, and better bedside thinking.
Faculty chosen for contrast, clarity, and productive friction
Each block is built to create a better conversation, not polite agreement. International voices are paired with Romanian voices, and chairs are briefed to push the room toward sharper clinical reasoning.
Borrowed language. Clinical seriousness. Structural difference.
The vocabulary is deliberate: The Line-Up, The Sets, Main Stage, The Yard, The Den. Not as decoration, but as a signal that the room will behave differently. Sessions are paired, the chairs push back, and the Q&A is designed to be usefully uncomfortable.
AI, Digital Health & Diagnostics
A day built around the tools, prompts, and diagnostic shifts that will reshape respiratory reasoning.
Bronchoscopy, Interventional Pulmonology & ILD
From complex procedures to difficult disease pathways, the emphasis is on judgment under pressure and practical decision-making.
Sleep Medicine & NIV
A full day for the clinicians working where physiology, chronic care, and night-time deterioration collide.
COPD, Overlap Syndromes & Closing
The final arc moves from longitudinal disease management to the intellectual climax of the conference.
Across four days, the programme builds toward one closing moment: the Synarra Reveal, an aggregate of the clinical questions answered across the congress, displayed live to show where the faculty converged and where they fractured.
Designed to change how the room behaves
BREATHExJEPE is not just a programme. It is an environment. Registration feeds into participant archetypes, the app drives interaction, and the physical spaces are designed to turn breaks, networking, and debate into part of the learning experience.
Six ways of entering the congress
Participants are assigned an archetype at registration based on clinical questions. That identity shapes wristband colour, challenges, networking prompts, and the way the event speaks back to them.
Participation made visible
QR scans, live polls, case prompts, sponsor activations, and networking matches turn the app into part of the programme rather than an afterthought. The room leaves a trace.
Main Stage, The Yard, The Den
Coffee breaks become The Yard. Informal networking becomes The Den. The naming matters because it changes expectation: the experience is designed, not leftover.
The Synarra Reveal
At the end of BREATHE, the unseen consensus becomes visible. Every clinical question answered across four days is aggregated and displayed live, showing where the faculty aligned, where they disagreed, and what that fracture reveals about the field.
It is not a gimmick. It is the intellectual climax of the congress: a final map of respiratory reasoning, built in public.
