International School on Advanced Immunology
We are developing the Immunology Winter School, which was co-hosted with the Singapore Immunology Network (SigN) until 2019, into an international school of immunology co-hosted with the University of Bonn, Germany. Young researchers selected from applicants from around the world give lectures and research presentations over several days, where participants and lecturers interact and discuss prospects for immunology and future collaborations.
