3rd EFIS Forum on Innate Immunity in Sterile Inflammation, Autoimmunity, and their Resolution

3rd EFIS Forum on Innate Immunity in Sterile Inflammation, Autoimmunity, and their Resolution is organized by ORTRA Ltd. and will be held from May 11 - 13, 2026 at Hilton Garden Inn Vilnius City Centre, Vilnius, Lithuania.

Description:
Innate Immune cells and mediators are essential effectors in long-lasting pathologies, such as autoimmunity, metabolic disorders, vascular diseases and cancer, as well as normal physiological processes like wound repair and resolution of inflammation. In recent years, it has become evident that innate myeloid and lymphoid cells also play key roles in maintaining homeostasis of the host and that their development and tissue-specific properties are more intricate than initially appreciated.

The EFIS Study Group on Innate Immunity in Sterile Inflammation, Autoimmunity and their Resolution (iiSIAR) will underscore its activities with a Forum meeting in Vilnius, the city of scholars. This gathering aims to expand and develop the European network of innate immunologists working on sterile inflammation, autoimmunity and cancer to maximize the use of resources, exchange of research ideas, training of young scientists as experts in innate inflammation and its resolution collaborative research, translatability of innovative science, and establish large research groups that will apply for funding by the European Union.

The program will comprise oral presentations and will foresee ample time for social interactions and the exchange of data and ideas. 

Forum Topics:

• Innate immunity in sterile inflammation and cancer
• Innate immunity in autoimmunity
• Innate immunity in the resolution of immune and tissue responses
• Innate immune development
• Innate Immunity in precision medicine
• Innate immunity in metabolism
• Neutrophils in innate immunity
• Therapeutic targets in acute and chronic inflammatory memory
