2nd European Congress of Immunology

Several European Societies and FOCIS as well as various joint cooperative projects and companies will bring their contribution to organising symposia on immunological disorders and on themes pertaining to immunology. The overall programme consists of more than 30 symposia and 60 workshops which are designed to cover both physiology and pathology of the immune system.

In addition, this meeting has a pan-European educational objective in exposing young European scientists to an international rather than a national audience. Their aim is to present an overview of fundamental and applied aspects of immunology. A provision of a maximum number of grants is currently being organised.

We invite you to use this unique opportunity to present original work and exchange your experien-ces in the fi eld. The top ranking abstracts will be presented orally. You may fi nd all relevant informa-tion and instructions for electronic submission at the congress website.

As a new feature we introduce for young researchers a lunch with the symposia speakers.

There will also be a ‘job-market’ for helping young scientists to fi nd post-doctoral positions and also to fi nd opportunities to meet representatives of both biotech and major pharmaceutical companies.

In addition, EU-networks will have an opportunity to present their work. Finally, the meeting will also be open at certain times for the public and also provide opportunities for patient self-help organisations to be instructed by experts in their fi eld. They will also bring immunology to schools and students of Berlin and Brandenburg.
