Dear colleagues,

The preparations for the 19th International Congress of Immunology taking place in Vienna from August 17-22 this year are going very well. Please visit the homepage of the meeting (https://iuis2025.org/) to watch the continuous updates regarding the scientific and social program. You can expect an exciting meeting with top speakers (please refer to confirmed-speakers line-up at: https://iuis2025.abstractserver.com/program/#/persons), among them two Nobel Laureates.

Despite the large number of abstracts already received, I succeeded to persuade IUIS to keep the submission deadline for the low registration fees and the possibility of travel grants open until February 25, which is actually my birthday.

I am writing to you now to ask you to spread the news that one can submit abstracts until February 25 (https://iuis2025.org/abstracts/) among your lab members, your colleagues and in your scientific society.

I hope that many additional abstracts will reach us until February 25 because I would like to welcome as many of you as possible to our congress. Please note that we have introduced a discount of 10% for groups of 10 persons who join for abstract submission. As promised, we can offer high quality accommodation including breakfast for around 50.- Euro per day.

Not only the scientific program of this congress will be outstanding, we are organizing also unique events such as an Immunology Run in the place where the first person ran the marathon distance below 2 hours and there will be huge clubbing event in the famous Vienna Prater. No need to mention the many other attractions of Vienna (https://iuis2025.org/discover-vienna/) and our hospitality which we will offer to you.

Please join us for this unique global event in the heart of Europe.

I look forward to welcoming you personally,

yours, Rudolf Valenta

Vienna is well known as a central meeting point in the world. It´s tradition as a central European city goes back to ancient times.

DEAR GLOBAL IMMUNOLOGY COMMUNITY,

On behalf of the Austrian Society for Allergology and Immunology (ÖGAI) and the Local Organizing Committee, we cordially invite you to the 19th International Congress of Immunology to be held in Vienna from August 17-22, 2025. We are proud to host the Congress of the International Union of Immunological Societies (IUIS) because we consider IUIS as “the” umbrella organization for regional and national societies of Immunology throughout the world, promoting Immunology without borders.

Vienna is well known as a central meeting point in the world. It´s tradition as a central European city goes back to ancient times.

After having experienced the COVID-19 pandemic everybody will agree that Immunology is highly important for mankind. We are convinced that prevention of diseases and improvement of health care can originate only from basic research, especially in the field of Immunology.

This congress will offer exciting scientific sessions, and, at the same time, you can spend most memorable days with us, discovering the rich past and vibrant present Vienna and its beautiful surroundings. Please also reserve some extra time to explore the many sights of Vienna, including the museums, the operas, concert halls, castles, traditional inns and small wineries which we call “Heurigen”. It will be the right time of the year!! Visit the Vienna Woods, the Danube valley, and the beautiful surrounding Lakes, especially Lake Neusiedl with its relaxing vineyards. We kindly ask you to note the dates August 17-22, 2025 in your calendar and to spread the news among your colleagues. The Local Organizing Committee will do the best to make this congress in Vienna a most memorable scientific, social, and cultural event.
We are looking forward to meeting you in person in fascinating Vienna.
