EFIS Task Forces
The EFIS Young Immunologist Task Force (yEFIS) aims to gather all early career scientists in Europe working in Immunology. Within the different European Immunology Societies, self-organised Young Immunologist (YI) groups have arisen in the last years. However, there has been limited contact between them. The aim of yEFIS Task Force is to bring all these YI groups together and build a European network to defend our interests on both a national and European level. EFIS provided us the ideal platform to start up this network and this is how in 2020 yEFIS Task Force and yEFIS Network were born.

Our mission
The main objectives of the yEFIS Task Force are to:- Represent the interests of early career immunologists at a European level

- Promote national YI groups in all EFIS-affiliated societies
- Expand youth participation in EFIS goals
- Bring visibility to YI during international meetings and schools, establishing regular dedicated sessions
- Share information, interests and ideas between European YI
- Connect YI and experienced scientists to shape the next generation of Immunologists in Europe

Who can join the yEFIS Network?
- Early career scientists* working on Immunology regardless age, nationality or position.
- You don't necessarily need to belong to an EFIS-affiliated society to join the yEFIS Network, but we strongly recommend you do so: there are many benefits available - for example these - that you might be missing! If you don't yet belong to an EFIS-affiliated society, go here to learn how to sign up.
- People working in non-European countries can join to the network but we recommend you to join an EFIS-affiliated society.
Do you have any particular interest in participating in yEFIS Working Groups or activities? Would you like to propose any ideas of your own? Please, don't hesitate to contact us at yefis@efis.org. We are a bottom-up network and we encourage any interested young immunologists to participate in the organization of our activities.
Would like to join the Task Force and represent the young immunologists in your country? Please, contact the current representative of your national society of immunology or to us at yefis@efis-org. We will give you all the information you need to apply for this position.
