The WIRM Scientific Program offers a dynamic and high-level platform for international knowledge exchange in immunology, allergy, and asthma research. The core of the program consists of plenary symposia featuring around 28 keynote lectures delivered by leading global scientists in the field.

Complementing these highlights are approximately 24 short oral presentations, selected from submitted abstracts, ensuring cutting-edge research is represented from early-career to established researchers. The program also includes interactive workshops with oral presentations and open discussions, poster sessions on three evenings, showcasing a wide range of innovative research, a distinguished special lecture, an engaging «Meet the Expert» session, multiple satellite symposia and additional networking opportunities.

Each plenary talk is scheduled for 22 minutes, followed by 8 minutes of interactive discussion, fostering in-depth scientific exchange.

Whether you’re a senior scientist, clinician, or emerging researcher, WIRM offers a unique opportunity to stay at the forefront of immune regulation and connect with the global immunology community.

Several workshops will take place at WIRM. The oral presentations will last 7 minutes, leaving 3 minutes for discussions and will be selected from the submitted abstracts. Every Workshop Speaker can also mount a poster in the evening. There will also be a poster walk within the workshop posters.

Best Workshop Presentation Awards

 

«BioLegend Best Workshop Presentation Awards» will be distributed to one best presenter of each workshop. The winners of the cash awards (12x CHF 330.-) will be selected by the chairs right after each workshop and honored at the award ceremony the day after.

As at other Davos meetings, we will reconvene in the evenings for poster sessions with buffet dinner in a relaxed and stimulatory atmosphere giving young researchers the opportunity to meet senior scientists. Poster presenters will be selected from the submitted abstracts.

Poster Presenter Information:

The size of the poster has to be DIN-format A0 vertical (width 84,1 x height 118,9 cm) or not more than 95 x 120 cm.
Adhesive poster strips will be provided at the registration desk by the organizer.

Poster presenters are requested to display their posters at 10:00 the latest at the day of presentation and to remove them at the end of the session approximately at 23:00 the same evening. In order to increase scientific discussions, a poster walk will take place. Selected chairpersons and poster presenters will meet in front of the first poster of their session in time. Each poster should be explained within two minutes by the poster presenter, which will leave one minute for discussion.
