The graphic element represents a trachea and lungs that, although not entirely describing the respiratory system of the human, project a representative image of the field of activity of the Quebec Respiratory Health research Network. We find inside the graphic element, in a very stylized way, the letters "RSR". In addition, two semicircles represent the letter "Q" and the inter-relational aspect of the Network's entities, its management, its research axes and its infrastructures.
