The DGfI Young Immunologists Nachwuchs

The DGfI especially appreciates its young members. In September 2016 the Young Immunologists (YI) group was founded to support early-career scientists within the DGfI with their scientific career development.

The overall aim of this group is to connect young immunologists throughout Germany. We provide networking opportunities and tackle common problems which many young researchers face such as non-permanent contracts, dealing with publication/time pressure, integrating family plans and obtaining a healthy work-life-balance.

How is it possible to invite young immunologists from all over Germany and Europe at short notice and give many of them the opportunity to present their work?

On October 8, from 1pm to 6pm, we as young immunologists will host a virtual seminar.

Best talks in each category will be recognized with a cash award (100 €).

The extended abstract submission deadline is September 27, 2020.

Make use of this unique opportunity and register here.

Formally, the main activities of the YI are coordinated by the YI board. The members of the board (currently six) are elected from within the YI group every two years. Importantly, the YI is represented by its spokesperson during the regular board meetings of the DGfI to bring forward relevant topics on behalf of YI members.

The EFIS Young Immunologist Task Force (yEFIS) aims to gather all early career scientists in Europe working in Immunology. Within the different European Immunology Societies, self-organised Young Immunologist (YI) groups have arisen in the last years.
