Abstract
The 14th European Immunology Meeting - EFIS 2000, held in Poznan, Poland on 23 - 27 September 2000, was the last major meeting of European immunolgists in the second millennium. This conference was intended to summarise past achievements and to present future prospects in immunology. The philosophy of the scientific program was to fuse fundamental and clinical immunology and give a chance for basic scientists and clinicians to discuss mutual topics in a general view. There were eight state-of-art lectures, 12 ‘meet an expert’ sessions, 20 plenary sessions and 46 workshops. More than 900 works were presented. Significant interest was focused on several aspects of cancer immunology and immunotherapy. EFIS 2000 was accompanied by six pre-congress satellite symposia held in various Polish cities. The topics were, ‘Heat shock proteins: immune, stress response and apoptosis’ (Gdansk), ‘Infectious immunity and vaccines’ (Kazimierz Dolny), ‘Mononuclear phagocytes in basic and clinical immunology’ (Cracow), ‘Immunology of reproduction’ (Poznan), ‘Primary immunodeficiencies’ (Warsaw) and ‘Glycoimmunology’ (Wroclaw).
