The yEFIS 1st Symposium: Shaping the Future of Immunology in Europe is happening in-person and will be held on November 10-11, 2022 at the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine (MDC) in Berlin, Germany.

This first edition will bring together young researchers for:
- Oral presentations and posters on basic, translational and clinical research related to immunology
