The International Union of Immunological Societies (IUIS) is proud to announce the second edition of the Rising Stars initiative, following the tremendous success of its inaugural edition in 2023.
The Rising Stars program celebrates exceptional early-career scientists who have made significant contributions to the field of immunology and their communities. For the 2025 edition, candidates with maximum 10 years of experience in the field of immunology after completing their PhD will be nominated by Nomination Committee.
The final selection of Rising Stars will be conducted by the dedicated Selection Committee, which evaluates candidates based on their scientific achievements, leadership potential, and community impact.
In 2023, the inaugural Rising Stars cohort consisted of 15 stellar scientists recognized for their groundbreaking work. Building on this success, the 2025 edition promises to be even more impactful. This year’s Rising Stars will present their research during dedicated sessions held each day of the IUIS 2025 congress. These sessions will provide an invaluable platform for early-career immunologists to showcase their work and receive expert recommendations on future directions, as well as insights into other promising avenues to explore in their research.
The Rising Stars 2025 will be announced in early May, ahead of their formal recognition at the IUIS 2025 congress. Stay tuned for updates as we prepare to honor another group of outstanding young scientists shaping the future of immunology!
