The annual Day of Immunology was created to bring awareness of immunology to a large public. Your action can make the difference!

Last year more than 30 countries participated to the event!

Tell us about your DoI 2011 in the Participate! section.

Day of Immunology 2012 Competition

We invite European immunologists (individual scientists and institutes) to submit their ideas for PR initiatives in combination with the DoI 2012. The main goal of the activities should be to effectively bring “hot topics” in immunology to the public (layperson, media, patient, etc.). The ideal initiative should make immunological expertise more accessible for the general public.

EFIS offers attractive awards for the best initiatives for the DoI 2012. Winners and their concepts will be introduced on the occasion of the 3rd European Congress of Immunology (ECI 2012) in Glasgow.

1st Prize – 2000 € and an invitation to attend ECI 2012 in Glasgow
2nd Prize – 1000 € and an invitation to attend ECI 2012 in Glasgow
3rd Prize – 500 € and an invitation to attend ECI 2012 in Glasgow
4th Prize – an invitation to attend ECI 2012 in Glasgow

Selection Process

Submissions will be selected by a jury composed of members of the EFIS Board. All decisions are final. The jury is exempt from legal liability. If you apply as an institute, you will be asked to send one representative to receive the award.

Deadline for submission is March 1st, 2012.

Winners will be notified until June 30, 2012. Please send your proposals (must be prepared in English language) electronically to the EFIS coordinator hahner@efis.org and the EFIS secretary general: anna8erdei@gmail.com and a hard copy to:
