A platform for collaborations in respiratory research in Sweden
The ongoing work of Breathe Sweden is outlined by a steering committee, consisting of one representative from each research project. A project leader holds the overall strategic responsibility, while the steering committee chair, rotated in 2-year terms, heads the day-to-day operations.
