If you click on the link, or load that link,  below you will load the summaries of the talks at the latest Practicum in Basel.
Alternatively go to the website and load them from there. (click on ‘Basel Practicum’ on the front page).
Perhaps you could show these summaries to your colleagues and they will have an idea what they could learn at a Practicum and want to attend.
If you have not been to a Practicum for a while you might find some of the topics interesting and you might like to attend the next one in the UK
at a venue and date to be finalised. You can meet old friends and make new ones.

Hope you are still receiving the regular abstracts. Let me know if you are not and I will reinstate you on our mailing list.

Dear Colleagues,

Imagine three days in the heart of Europe—three days where the very architects of modern cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) “open their labs” and share their insights with you.

We are delighted to invite you to the 27th European Practicum on Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing, taking place from 3–5 September 2025 in Basel, Switzerland—the only edition of this event in 2025.

This year’s practicum features a world-class faculty including:

• Prof. Dr. Piergiuseppe Agostoni (Italy) – expert in heart failure and non-invasive hemodynamic monitoring
• Prof. Daniel Dumitrescu (Germany) – expert in CPET formatting and pulmonary vascular disease
• Prof. Dr. William Stringer (USA) – CPET pioneer and international authority on gas exchange analysis
• Prof. Dr. Martin Brutsche (Switzerland) – specialist in integrative pulmonary diagnostics
• Prof. Dr. Alfred Hager, Dr. Tim Takken, Prof. Dr. Marshall Riley, Prof. Dr. Denny Levett, Prof. Daniel Dumitrescu, Prof. Joachim Meyer, and many more – covering the full spectrum from pediatric CPET to elite athlete testing, rare diseases, and artificial intelligence in diagnostics

Under the Swiss skyline, you will:
✔ Conduct live CPET sessions on cutting-edge metabolic/gas-exchange systems
✔ Decode complex data in real time with top-tier experts by your side
✔ Participate in small-group rotations for immersive, hands-on learning

… now is the time.
