- Promoting advanced science, research and training techniques in research, in the field of respiratory medicine and science in Europe;

- Supporting the exchange in Europe of outstanding scientists/investigators as well as clinicians with promising careers, actively involved in respiratory medicine;

- Contributing to the diffusion and implementation of new techniques in Europe and internationally.

- Highlighting and stimulating postdoctoral career opportunities in the respiratory research area in Europe.

Objectives: The RESPIRE programme aims to enable promising PhD holders and postgraduates holding 4 years' full-time research experience to carry out advanced research projects (1 year) in another European country. Applicants will be required to have at least 1 first author publication in an international peer-reviewed journal at the time of application.
