IUIS and EFIS invite all international societies to join us this year to honor the Day of Immunology on April 29. This year’s topic is “Brain and Immunity: Immunological Insights into Neurological Disorders.”
Today it has become clear that there is a strong interaction between the immune system and the brain. The immune system triggers neurological disease but at the same time helps to cure the disease. On the Day of Immunology 2025, we will explore the functional role of the nervous system in immunity and also discuss the immunological mechanisms and treatment options for rapidly increasing non-communicable neurological diseases, such as multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer disease. Environmental factors ranging from infections to the gut microbiota may have substantial impact on both disease and cure.
2025 Day of Immunology Webinar
Mark your calendars for an insightful webinar on the Day of Immunology, April 29, 2025, 15:00 – 18:00 CEST and join us for an in-depth exploration of how the immune system shapes brain function and contributes to neurological disorders. This webinar will bring together experts to discuss the latest research on immune mechanisms. Discover cutting-edge insights into the neuroimmune interface and its implications for diagnosis and treatment.
Stay tuned for the registration link, full program details, and speaker lineup!
The Day of Immunology was established by EFIS in 2005 as a way of strengthening the general public's awareness of immunology as a basis for individual health and well-being. IUIS and EFIS now work together to celebrate the Day of Immunology and encourage all National Societies to promote the benefits of immunology research during the International Day of Immunology (DoI) taking place every year on 29 April.
2024 Day of Immunology Awards
To motivate societies and their members to engage in outreach activities, EFIS and IUIS have traditionally awarded prizes to the most compelling awareness campaigns organized over the previous three years. In 2024, however, it was decided to enhance the competition by awarding prizes to the three best international and the three best European campaigns, selected based on originality, creativity, clarity and impact at a national or regional level.
For its part, EFIS is delighted to announce that the 2024 European Day of Immunology Awards go to the campaigns submitted by the
- Norwegian Society for Immunology
- Czech Immunological Society
- Italian Society for Immunology, Clinical Immunology and Allergology
The awards come with cash prizes of EUR 3,000, EUR 2,000, and EUR 1,000, respectively.
Congratulations to our prizewinners, and thanks to all societies that participated in initiatives aiming to strengthen the general public's awareness of immunology as a basis for individual health and well-being.
