International Society of Atopic Dermatitis (ISAD)

The International Society of Atopic Dermatitis (ISAD) developed out of the tradition of the international atopic dermatitis symposia created by the Norwegian dermatologist of Hungarian origin Georg Rajka in Oslo, starting back in 1979, when he, as an enthusiast for Atopic Dermatitis, would for the first time personally select and invite colleagues to a conference on atopic dermatitis. The invitation always was “spiritual”, not financial in nature. He always also invited younger colleagues, who would have done good work in the past three years to present in a forum of experts in his chosen new homeland Norway.
