The 10th EFIS-EJI Tatra Immunology Conference will include lectures by invited speakers, poster presentations by other participants and informal discussions combined with extended midday recreational activities. The aim of the organizers is to have the conference in a style similar to the Gordon Conferences, i.e. with a lot of informal discussions and no written proceedings. Brief reports on the previous conferences of this series were published (European Journal of Immunology, 2010, Mar;41(3):561-5; Immunol. Lett. 97: 161, 2005; Expert Opin Investig Drugs. 15: 1283, 2006).
Participation is limited to approx. 120. If you are interested in participating, please register electronically via this site before March 31, 2012. You will be informed that your registration has been recieved and will be given the details about conference fee payment. Several poster presentations will be selected for brief oral presentations. The conference fee is 550 EUR and includes conference programme, 4 nights of accommodation (in single or double rooms), full subsistence, evening social programme, transport from the nearest airports (Kosice, Vienna, Bratislava) and several trips during midday breaks.
A limited number of student fellowships (registration reduction by 200, 400 or even 550 EUR) will be available upon request. More information about the stipends can be found in the section News, Fellowships available etc.
