Dear colleagues,

It is our pleasure to welcome you to Geneva on occasion of the Joint Annual Meeting 2025 of the Swiss Society of Pneumology, the Swiss Society of Thoracic Surgery and the Swiss Society for Sleep Research, Sleep Medicine and Chronobiology from 15-16 May 2025.

After an exciting conference in Baden in 2024, the Scientific Committee of 2025 will again prepare a programme that we trust catches the most interesting new developments in all areas of pneumology, sleep medicine and thoracic surgery. Lectures and presentation of scientific abstracts will take place on the two days of the congress. In a pre-congress programme, several postgraduate courses of interest also to seasoned specialists will be offered on Wedesday, 13 May 2025 at the Geneva University Hospital.

Breaks and social events offer the occasion to meet with colleagues and advance in networking.

In full conviction that this programme will meet the expectations of our delegates, we are very much looking forward to an outstanding conference and to seeing you in Geneva!

With best regards,

Prof. Dr. med. Anne Bergeron
