President, EABIP

Dear friends/colleagues, on behalf of our executive committee, it gives me tremendous pleasure to welcome you warmly to our association, which has been flourishing and expanding progressively since its inception in 2002, thanks to the enormous hard work of a number of Interventional Pulmonologists

in particular, my predecessors Semra Bilaceroglu, Herve Dutau and Felix Herth, besides the original founding members, especially Heinrich Becker and the late Chris Bolliger.

The principal priorities of EABIP are to promote Education, Training and Research in all aspects of Interventional Pulmonology

To achieve our objectives, we have:

Enhanced our educational activities, including conferences, courses and workshops throughout Europe and beyond
Cemented our partnership with the official journal ‘Respiration’, thus reducing the costs incurred by our members, besides offering them the opportunity to subscribe to JOBIP at a subsidised rate
Expanded our membership, across the globe, which in turn stimulates knowledge exchange and healthy clinical collaboration/ research
Established a close working relationship with WABIP and a number of national respiratory and bronchoscopy societies
Developed a more user friendly, interactive and informative website, which will be updated on a regular basis

We are entering an incredibly exciting era in the ever-expanding field of Interventional Pulmonology, stretching across a plethora of subspecialties including the advanced diagnosis/treatment of small peripheral lung lesions, precise staging techniques for malignancy, novel bronchoscopic therapies for emphysema, ambulatory management of a variety of pleural pathologies, to name just a few.

To showcase all of this on a truly international platform, we have planned the next European Congress of Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology in Dubrovnik from 8th to 11th of May, 2019. We eagerly await your participation and look forward to seeing you there.

Warm regards and the very best of wishes

Dear Friends
Greetings from Preston, UK!

I hope this finds all of you well and in the best of spirits, as we gradually recover from the prolonged effects of the pandemic and re-energise our activities at EABIP.

Please may I seek your very kind attention, as I have a number of extremely important announcements to share with you.

1 – Gratitude to the executive committee members demitting office

This month we would like to express our sincerest thanks to three of our executive committee members who will be stepping down from their positions, after years of tireless service to EABIP.
Semra Bilaceroglu has been the ‘Doyen’ of EABIP for nearly 2 decades, playing several key roles, including Secretary, President-Elect, President and Past President. In each of these positions she worked incredibly hard and led the way for the expansion of EABIP activities effectively and progressively.
Also stepping down are Marioara Simon and Lorenzo Corbetta who have been an enormous help in the executive committee, whilst holding pivotal positions as ‘Director of Membership and Education’ and ‘Website and Scientific Director’ respectively.

2 – Vacant positions and announcement of elections

The following positions are vacant, and we write to invite you to apply for these exciting roles as soon as possible, if you have experience in the field of IP/ education/ training/ management/ executive committees, and will be able to commit the time needed to function in these positions proactively

The Director of Finance and Industry Relations oversees all accounts/ financial matters and also collaborates closely with industry partners, in the pharmaceutical and device field.
The Director of Membership (and education) liaises with all the members, ensuring that payments and membership matters are kept uptodate.

The Director of Website and Scientific Affairs collaborates very closely with the website company and manager, to ensure smooth functioning of the website and constantly enhance the contents of the website, with material related to education, courses and research.
