The JARED project, supported by the European Commission, aims to reduce the burden caused by chronic respiratory diseases (CRD) and their risk factors in Europe.
The main focus of the project is on public health–relevant diseases such as asthma, COPD, interstitial lung diseases (ILD), and occupational lung diseases. Certain infection related lung diseases are also taken into account.
A total of 35 universities, research institutes, and healthcare organizations from 14 European countries are involved in the project.
