2016 Edition: Day of Immunology Awards

August 19, 2016

About the Day of Immunology (DoI):

  • Theme: Immunotherapy
  • Motto: Harnessing the Power of the Immune System (same motto as ICI 2016)

The annual Day of Immunology took place on April 29, 2016. The day is dedicated to
increasing global awareness on the importance of immunology in the fight against infection,
autoimmunity and cancer. The IUIS and EFIS work together to encourage national societies
to participate in the Day of Immunology and to promote the benefits of immunology research.

Immunological Societies and Federations were invited to participate in the day and to submit
material on their DoI campaign (e.g. posters, films, video, social media, email or regular mail).

Award Winners:

Prizes were awarded to the top four candidates who developed and implemented a campaign.

The Award Winners were announced during a special awards ceremony during the ICI 2016 in Melbourne, on 23 August 2016.
