Administrative Organization pag 30 2 3 Introduction To the Members of the Board and delegates of the European Federation of Immunological Societies, EFIS Utrecht, June 12, 2015 Dear members of the board, dear delegates, On behalf of the Dutch Society of Immunology, it is our pleasure to cordially invite EFIS to hold the 6th European Congress of Immunology in Amsterdam from August 29 – September 1, 2021. Inspired by the beautiful city of Amsterdam with its many channels and bridges, the theme of the congress will be “building bridges”. We hope and anticipate that organizing the 6th ECI around this theme, will enthuse bridging between different immunological disciplines, between basic, translational and clinical science, young- and established immunologists, and, most and for all, will inspire and help building bridges across Europe, European immunology and European immunologists. For this we will not only include interactive sessions, but will also keep the registration fees for students at the same level as in Vienna and Glasgow. The Dutch Society of Immunology has celebrated his 50th birthday last year, and has traditionally been strong in basic, translational and clinical immunology. Its membership number is well above 1300 members. These members do not only include senior investigators, group leaders and clinicians, but also about 400 graduate students and more than 100 research technicians. The Dutch Society will work together with EFIS to organize an exciting scientifi c program of the highest standards in the charming city of Amsterdam. Amsterdam is the capital of the Netherlands and has been a center of creativity and culture for centuries. From its humble beginnings as a 13th-century fi shing village, the city became famous during the 17th-century (Golden Age), as the leading hub for trade and art. People have made the city unique; it has a highly individual, spirited and young-at-heart character. “Amsterdammers” are known for their friendly, tolerant and cosmopolitan nature; that’s why not too surprisingly, most speak at least two languages (English is almost always one of them). With inhabitants from 177 different cultures, Amsterdam is one of the top three most diverse cities in the world. The city has an excellent public transport network and is located 15 minutes from the main airport, Amsterdam Schiphol Airport. The RAI convention center is only eight minutes from Amsterdam Schiphol Airport by public transportation and just 15 minutes from the city center. Amsterdam RAI provides a location allowing an interactive meeting. And with the realization of a new hotel in 2018 on the RAI complex, speakers, exhibitors, and organizers can be located on site, and still be extremely close to the center of town. Taken this all together we feel that ECI 2021 Amsterdam will be a memorable event for the European Immunologists. We hope that Amsterdam can serve as bridgehead for another stimulating and attractive European Congress for Immunology and to welcome you all in Amsterdam in 2021. Sincerely yours, Reina Mebius, Chairman Rene Toes, Treasurer Edward Knol, Secretary General Dutch Society for Immunology 4 5 1. Host Society The Nederlandse Vereniging voor Immunologie (NVVI)/Dutch Society for Immunology (DSI) was established in 1964 by Joghem van Loghem, Jon van Rood, Willy Hijmans, Dick van Bekkum, and Frits Keuning. Currently, DSI has more than 1300 members. Many of them are post-docs, leaders of research groups, and/or clinicians, more than 400 members are graduate students, as many as 130 are research technicians, and there are even a few dozen undergraduates among the members. All eight universities and their academic hospitals in The Netherlands accommodate one or more departments and laboratories that are active in immunology: conducting research, providing teaching and training plans, offering diagnostic services, and providing expertize to the community. These activities are not limited to medical faculties, but also include the veterinary school and several pharmaceutical faculties, as well as the agricultural university, and technical universities. Most large peripheral hospitals harbor facilities for diagnostic immunology. Several major non-university institutes are strongly engaged in immunology. Instances are the Sanquin Blood Supply Foundation, the Netherlands Cancer Institute, the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM), IntraVacc and Bilthoven Biologicals (formerly the Netherlands Vaccine Institute), the Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientifi c Research (TNO), and the Biomedical Primate Research Center (BPRC). Valorization of research achievements into clinical valuables, through ventures (co)established by Dutch immunologists, has been increasingly successful. Major examples include the vaccine company Crucell (Leiden), the biosimilars company Synthon (Nijmegen) and the biologicals companies Centocor (Leiden) and Genmab (Utrecht). The DSI holds itself responsible also for the quality of clinical and laboratory patient care. Medical Immunology is a laboratory health care specialty that provides know-how and investigative facilities for diagnosis and therapeutic follow-up of immunological disorders. The 3-years training program comprises diagnostic theory, practice, and translational research, and includes transplantation biomedicine and was among the very fi rst well-developed and certifi ed training programs in its fi eld in Europe. Currently, there are 54 accredited medical immunologists. Clinical Immunology is a subspecialty and registry for physicians (mostly specialists in internal medicine, rheumatology, or pediatrics) taking care of patients with immunological disorders. It has its own training requirements and schedules, which are actively being developed further. The DSI has always considered it one of her tasks to contribute to the ongoing scientifi c education of technicians and students. Since 1972, the Society organizes an annual 2 days’ spring meeting, in order to bring together young scientists and technicians. Invited speakers are national and international experts of the selected topic(s), who have been instructed to thoroughly introduce their subject and put it in a wide perspective. Also, the communication and exchanges are more informal and intense than at the average regular science meeting. The average attendance in the last few years is about 400 participants. The annual DSI scientifi c meeting in December is attended by approximately 600 members. In addition to key note speakers from all over the world, oral presentations are selected from the many submitted high quality abstracts. Non-selected abstracts are presented as posters combined with condensed talks during common session walks, giving young scientists an early opportunity to meet and discuss their work with peers. Further, several “educational track sessions” are organized, to timely expose young PhD students and technicians to new technical and scientifi c developments. 6 7 2.

General As Amsterdam is a surprisingly compact city with excellent public transport , travelling around is quick and easy. Amsterdam is the ideal place for planning an extra informal meeting with your colleagues! What about arranging to meet up in one of the 51 museums, many of them within walking distance of the city centre, or in one of the 25 beautiful old courtyards, 1215 pavement cafés or 55 theatres. After a busy day you may appreciate a relaxing stroll back to one of the 350 excellent hotels to take your mind of things. Culture The Netherlands’ capital city has been a centre of creativity and culture for centuries. From its humble beginnings as a 13th-century fi shing village to its current role as a major hub for business, tourism and culture, Amsterdam has a strong tradition as a centre of culture and commerce. During the 17th-century (Golden Age), the city became famous as the leading hub for trade and art; in the 1960s, it emerged as Europe’s magical centre.
