In the German Society for Immunology, men and women conduct research and contribute to knowledge and lively exchange. We find it important and correct that this is visible at conferences, in committees, in editorial boards, etc. However, since there is often still an imbalance here, DGfI lists excellent and active female scientists who can contribute their qualifications and expertise:
-as chairmen/speakers at conferences and seminars,
-as chairman/member of committees,
-as a lecturer,
-as editor, consultant or
-for other functions
Suggestions for correction or supplementation should be sent by email to mail@dgfi.org.
