### Welcome!

Science is about curiosity, blossoming of promising and novel ideas, getting inspired and connecting to other people. The NRS wants to provide and promote this for their members. Unfortunately, the NRS was not able to organize physical meetings in the past year due to the corona pandemic, while there was/is huge pressure on pulmonologists and scientists working in respiratory medicine. Therefore, we have set-up a new series of monthly online events: NRS Webinar, where you can acquire the latest updates within the lung field, and easily (re)connect with fellow members in our digital NRS cafe. 
During the NRS Webinar both a senior speaker and a junior speaker from different institutes will present their work at the online platform; sufficient time has been scheduled for discussions with the audience, via the chat or live. Every month a different theme is presented, and the program has been set up such that translational, clinical and more fundamental research is presented allowing for cross-fertilization of different research areas, various respiratory diseases and the latest technology applied.

For more in-depth discussions or small talk to catch up with researchers on the other side of the country, the NRS webinar is followed by networking time in the virtual NRS caffé. This is a virtual area in which you can join people sitting at a table in small groups and catch up on each other’s business, research activities, plans and challenging new hypotheses. 

If you somehow miss the webinar, fortunately you can see the presentations later at a convenient time, as most presentations will be recorded and are accessible via the NRS website in the members area and here on Underline NRS page under the microphone icon/past sessions.

Hope to see you there,

**Dr. Hermelijn Smits,**
President of the NRS
