yEFIS

The EFIS Young Immunologist Network (yEFIS) aims to gather together all early career researchers (ECRs) in Europe working in immunology. Follow yEFIS on Twitter @y_efis Within the different European immunological societies, self-organised Young Immunologist (YI) groups have arisen in recent years. However, there has been limited contact between them. The aim of yEFIS is to bring all these groups together and build a European network to promote our interests on a national, European and international level. EFIS itself provided the ideal platform to start up this network and in 2020 yEFIS was launched. The mission -Represent the interests of early career immunologists at a European level. -Promote national YI groups in all EFIS member 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.
