Due to the current situation in Israel, we regret to inform you that the conference originally scheduled for February 14-15, 2024, at the Weizmann Institute in Rehovot cannot proceed as initially planned.
Germany and Israel have a longstanding fruitful history of scientific mutual exchange. To further boost these efforts, with emphasis on Immunology, we plan to inaugurate a joint workshop series of the German Society for Immunology (DGfI) with the Israeli Society for Immunology (IIS). The 1rst German-Israeli Immunology Workshop (GIIW) will take place on Weizmann campus. The workshop will be organized by Prof. Ari Waisman (Mainz University; representing the DGfI), Prof. Amiram Ariel (University of Haifa; representing the IIS) and Prof. Steffen Jung (as local Weizmann host). The workshop is planned to cover a broad spectrum of cutting-edge topics in modern immunological research including the role of immune cells in tissue regeneration, the defense against infections and cancer immunotherapy. The workshop will host German and Israeli speakers with the aim to provide a lively platform for scientific exchange, personal interactions, and the exploration of potential for collaborations between German and Israeli Immunologist
