ARDS 2023
Introduction
The International ARDS Conference Steering Committee are delighted to invite you to join us at the 6th International ARDS Conference in Dublin 19 - 21 June 2023. We want to build on the great success of our previous International ARDS Conferences in Paris, Berlin and Belfast. The Dublin meeting will offer a full scientific programme bringing together leading faculty experts in the field of ARDS from around the world to discuss basic mechanisms of acute lung injury, progress in clinical research for pathogenesis and prognosis, and current and future clinical trials for ARDS, focusing on challenges and opportunities.
There will be approximately 31 faculty who will give succinct talks with ample time for questions and discussion. In addition, there will be oral presentations and posters by emerging investigators and junior faculty.
The Conference Venue is the The Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI), located on St Stephen's Green, Dublin, in the heart of the city centre. The building dates back to 1810 and is steeped in history, charm and elegance. Dublin itself is steeped in a rich cultural heritage that begs to be explored. In June, the city is alive with music, art and theatre of all kinds and, of course, art galleries and museums abound. All complemented by an impressive range of restaurants, cafés and shops.

Forty Foot
Sea Swimming
The Forty Foot is a famous bathing spot located in Dublin, Ireland. It is situated in the town of Sandycove, a seaside suburb just south of the city center. The Forty Foot is a popular spot for swimming, especially for those brave enough to take a dip in the cold Irish Sea all year round. The name "Forty Foot" comes from the depth of the water at the point where people jump into the sea.
The spot is known for its stunning views of the coast, and its reputation as a gathering place for the local community. Visitors to the Forty Foot can also enjoy a leisurely stroll along the nearby Sandycove Promenade, which offers panoramic views of Dublin Bay.
