Child-BEAR-Net’s specific objectives are, to: 

1. Build a collaborative international network of consumers, clinicians, clinical researchers and biomedical scientists with expertise in paediatric bronchiectasis to lead clinically important research priorities in Europe and beyond,
2. Create standardised multi-national bronchiectasis registries relevant in both affluent and low-to-middle income countries,
3. Develop a ‘Quality Standards’ document based on the ERS paediatric clinical practice guideline for managing bronchiectasis in children and young people,
4. Establish a standardised definition of respiratory exacerbations for clinical research, and
5. Establish a consensus of core outcomes/endpoints for evaluating interventions relevant to consumers and considered important by clinicians.
