ResumoThe European Respiratory Journal (ERJ) is proud to be part of a lively society.The year 2003 has been an eventful one for the European Respiratory Society (ERS).The first Lung Science meeting in Taormina was held, where a select number of young scientists presented their latest research data.The ERJ Taormina Supplement [1] convincingly illustrates the high scientific quality of this meeting, which fortunately is going to be an annual event.Then we had the ERS Annual Congress in Vienna.What a joy!According to the latest figures this even became the biggest respiratory meeting in the world.Last but not least, the ERS School is planning to hold no less than nine educational courses in a variety of locations in Europe, and based on the experience from 2003 it is anticipated that these courses will be extremely successful.Why do we emphasise this?Well, it proves that the ERS is truly alive.It is a diverse society with a huge number of people attending its meetings with interests ranging from treatment standards and therapeutic guidelines, to public health, clinical trials, and respiratory cell biology.The ERJ is part of this society, and even more, it is the binding element next to the ERS meetings.This means that this journal is translating the events and data emerging from this scientific community into written form.Therefore, translational medicine is for us not just a fashion!It is what you as members of this society want.We like to be the voice of the ERS.But, don9t worry: we will also at times surprise you.
