To enhance interaction with its member societies and their local immunology communities, in 2016 EFIS launched the EFIS on Tour Symposium series. These half-day seminars organised on the Friday afternoon preceding the Board’s traditional Saturday meeting feature talks by EFIS Board Members and speakers of the hosting societies. Beyond the immediate concrete result of providing a setting for societies to present their most important research lines and to showcase their emerging young talents in an open scientific exchange with the EFIS Board, the far-reaching goal of the EFIS on Tour Symposia is to engage national societies as much as possible at a grassroots level (bearing in mind that EFIS does not have direct contact with societies’ membership bases), and to increase awareness about EFIS endeavours to support the European community of researchers and clinicians working in immunology and related fields.
The next EFIS on Tour Symposium will be hosted by SIICA.
The Symposium will be held on Friday, 15 March 2024 from 13:00 to 18:30 at Polo Didattico “Giorgio Zanotto” – Aula T1, Università degli Studi di Verona, and will be co-chaired by Marco A. Cassatella and Federica Sallusto.
