Continuing our theme of introducing different immunological societies, in
this month's 'News and efis'we present one efis member society, the Swiss
Society for Allergology and Immunology (SSAI), that is particularly unique
because its members consist of a thorough mix of practitioners, clinicians and
basic scientists.

Introducing EFIS and its Board
EJI is an international Journal and many of its readers may know very little about EFIS, its organisation, role and the opportunities this Society offers immunologists, particularly following the formal partnership with EJI. This first 'News and EFIS' section will provide you with all the answers and more. EFIS (the European Federation of Immunological Societies) is, as the name implies, the umbrella organisation for the national Immunology Societies based within the European area. It is governed by a Board of five members, who are elected by the EFIS General Assembly which is, in turn, composed of delegates of the national Immunological Societies (each Society is entitled to have one delegate per 500 members). The current Board members, their research and their hopes for the EJI-EFIS partnership are introduced in this month’s feature.
