The awardees will be those judged by the APSR Research Committee to have submitted the best abstracts accepted by the ERS.

First authors must submit their abstracts to the ERS, not to the APSR, choosing "APSR - Asian Pacific Society of Respirology", (see image on the left) not their society's name.

For abstract submission instructions, see Check the guidelines and instructions for submitting abstracts.
