CRCs are built on multidisciplinary pan-European networks of researchers in specific disease areas, with the aim of building research infrastructures (cohorts, databases, etc.), identifying outstanding research questions, developing innovative research protocols, conducting large-scale clinical studies and facilitating the search for external funding. The CRC programme [2] is overseen by the CRC Director who, supported by the CRC working group, regularly reports to the ERS Science Council.This editorial describes the ERS CRC programme, which addresses research areas across all major respiratory disease domains. It explains how the ERS Research Agency supports the CRCs to obtain external funding and ensures links with other ERS activities. https://bit.ly/2WHIQPa ER -
