Open for applications: 15th International Summer School

The 15th International Summer School on Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics, hosted by the European Federation for Immunogenetics (EFI) with support from the American Society for Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics (ASHI), the Asia Pacific Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics Association (APHIA) and the Arabic Society for Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics (ARSHI), will take place virtually in September 2021 due to the ongoing pandemic situation. 

The concept of the Summer School is to provide a focused course on many aspects of theoretical and applied Immunogenetics and Histocompatibility. To encourage discussion, the course is limited to a small group of participants (~60). It represents a great opportunity for those studying towards higher H&I specific qualifications as well as a chance to meet others working in the field in different parts of the world. 

Early applications are required as attendance is limited to promote open discussion and facilitate the presentation of work by each participant. Meeting information, including the programme, faculty and application procedures, are available on the EFI website (www.efi-web.org). Abstracts are limited to 500 words; the submission of abstracts and the application process is being managed via EasyChair and can be accessed here: easychair.org/cfp/ISS-15.

We look forward to meeting you on line for the 15th International Summer School!
