About Davos
About Davos – A Unique Home for Science, Health, and Innovation
Davos is a globally recognized center for medical research, immune health, and scientific collaboration.
Originally known for its healing climate, Davos has attracted patients and physicians since the 19th century. In 1860, the first guesthouses opened their doors to health seekers from across Europe. German physician Dr. Alexander Spengler pioneered a spa concept for lung patients, combining alpine air, rest, and sun exposure. His legacy shaped Davos into a destination renowned for its contribution to respiratory medicine and overall human health.
Today, Davos continues to build on that legacy. It is home to world-leading research institutions such as the Swiss Institute of Allergy and Asthma Research (SIAF), a globally respected center focused on immunology, epithelial barrier function, and chronic inflammatory diseases. Alongside the AO Foundation, the WSL Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research (SLF), and the World Radiation Center (PMOD/WRC), Davos offers a unique ecosystem of high-altitude, high-impact science.
The city also hosts the World Immune Regulation Meeting (WIRM), an annual international congress that convenes leading experts in immunology, allergy, asthma, and barrier research. WIRM benefits from an exceptional setting that integrates world-class research infrastructure with the distinctive scientific environment of Davos.
