14th Spring School on Immunology, March 18th – March 23rd 2018
Ettal, Bavaria, Germany
German Society for Immunology
We are pleased to announce that – through joint sponsorship by IUIS and the German Society for
Immunology – 3 full scholarships will be offered for this School for applicants from developing
countries and studying/working in these countries.
Every year in spring the German Society for Immunology (DGfI) hosts the ‘Spring School on
Immunology’ in Ettal, Bavaria. In the intimate setting of an old cloister, 60 doctoral students and 25
lecturers, experts in their field, come together to discuss the latest developments in Immunology.
This School is part of the DGfI´s Academy for Immunology and offers advanced training for students
who already have good knowledge of Immunology. The School thus primarily addresses doctoral
students in the later stages of their PhD training as well as recent Postdocs.
The School is based on plenary lectures reviewing the themes of the School while also offering ample
time for discussions. Because of the active participation in the sessions and the intense exchange, the
students will have excellent opportunities for networking early on in their career
(http://web.dgfi.org/spring-school/register.htm).
