About yEFIS

The EFIS Young Immunologist Network (yEFIS Network) aims to gather all early career scientists in Europe working in Immunology.

The aim of the yEFIS network is to bring all self-organised Young Immunologist (YI) groups of the European Immunology Societies together and build a European network to defend their interests on both a national and European level. EFIS provided the platform to start up this network in 2020 when the yEFIS Task Force and the yEFIS Network were born.

Our mission

The main objectives of the yEFIS Network are to:

• Provide a platform for young immunologists form all European countries to network
• Promote early career immunologists at a European level
• Promote national YI groups in all EFIS-affiliated societies
• Expand youth participation in EFIS goals
• Bring visibility to YI during international meetings and schools, establishing regular dedicated sessions
• Share information, interests and ideas between European YI
• Connect YI and experienced scientists to shape the next generation of Immunologists in Europe
