The conditions individually are rare to ultra-rare and are lumped for convenience [3], but studies need larger cohorts for each condition, in order to deliver progress. As most university hospitals see between one and five new ChILD cases each year [4], progress is slow unless international co-operation is in place.Enhanced clinical, parent, academic and industry engagement in the field of children's interstitial lung diseases will help improve case ascertainment, mechanisms and therapeutic developments for these ultra-rare conditions http://ow.ly/SM0I30mC3JkFor more information on the ChILDEU Clinical Research Collaboration, including how to contribute, contact ChILDEUCRC{at}ed.ac.uk or see the information for clinicians at www.childeu.net.
