The ESRS aims to integrate all important European players with an interest in sleep research and sleep medicine at the basic and medical, as well as graduate and postgraduate level, including individual researchers, National sleep societies, and patient organisations.

The goal of the ESRS is to establish sleep medicine as an acknowledged medical specialty.
