EJI Ita Askonas Prize Awarded by EFIS
The prize was established by EFIS and the European Journal of Immunology (EJI) to acknowledge female group leaders in immunology who have run an independent laboratory for a minimum of four and no more than ten years.
EFIS Member Societies are encouraged to apply for the prestigious EFIS-IL Lecture Award, to invite an outstanding European immunologist to speak at their national meeting. The EFIS-IL Lecture Award entitles the proponent National Society to receive 1000 Euros to offset the Lecturer's travel and participation expenses.
During discussions with EFIS member societies, it was brought to the Board‘s attention that many national societies, particularly those from Eastern Europe, struggle to find the resources for consumables needed to conduct high-impact experimental research. To address this gap in funding, the EFIS Board established the EFIS Eastern Star Award.
ACTERIA Prizes Awarded by EFIS
Thanks to a partnership established in 2012 between the FONDATION ACTERIA – ACTing on European Research in Immunology and Allergology – and EFIS – European Federation of Immunological Societies – the ACTERIA Prizes are awarded to recognize and reward Europe’s young scientists in the fields of immunology and allergology.
