Scientific Rationale
Over the last decade, the bronchiectasis community has moved from the margins to a truly global movement: international registries have clarified disease burden and phenotypes; updated guidelines set standards of care; new trials test anti-inflammatory and anti-infective strategies; and advances in airway clearance, physiotherapy, digital health, imaging and microbiome research are reshaping prevention and personalised monitoring.
The paediatric field is rapidly emerging. The Child-BEAR Network has already documented more than 1,000 cases of children with bronchiectasis and chronic cough, highlighting the need for age-specific diagnosis, management and treatment pathways.
The 1st European Workshop on Paediatric Bronchiectasis & Chronic Cough (27 February 2026, Bergamo, Italy) is the first step of a new journey to share challenges, improvements and innovation for children and adolescents.
Scientific Programme
Keynotes, expert sessions, round tables and short oral communications with leading paediatric bronchiectasis specialists. From novel drugs to airway clearance, exercise, imaging, cough devices and clinical management.
