This inspiring group was chosen through a rigorous and thoughtful nomination, review, and selection processes. Each of them represents not only scientific excellence but also the values that IUIS holds at its core.
By giving the stage to early-career researchers from diverse backgrounds and regions, the Rising Stars Program helps inclusively amplify voices and cultivates the next generation of global scientific leaders. These scientists are already making an impact in their fields, and IUIS is proud to support their continued growth by offering them a unique platform to share their research and connect with the broader immunology community.
At IUIS 2025 in Vienna, each Rising Star will present their work in a dedicated session in scientific program designed to highlight their findings and foster dialogue with fellow immunologists. These sessions are designed not only to spotlight their discoveries, but also to foster a collaborative atmosphere in which experience, perspectives, and ideas can be exchanged. These interactive presentations will offer attendees the chance to ask questions, share insights, and build bridges across specialties and generations.
We can’t wait to celebrate their achievements and hear their stories on stage and we look forward to seeing its impact—both during the Congress and well beyond!
Stay tuned—we’ll soon be sharing more about each Rising Star and what their sessions will explore. Follow us on social media and join the conversation at #IUIS2025 and #RisingStars2025.
