SESSION FORMATS

& TOPICS

The IUIS 2025 sessions will showcase the latest discoveries and explore how, in practical ways around the world, they can deliver treatments to those in need. Presentations formats will vary by session type, outlined below.

Keynote Lectures

Keynote Lectures are the cornerstones of IUIS 2025. Twice a day, all delegates have the opportunity to hear two preeminent scientists present on their topic of expertise including Keynote Topics. New for IUIS 2025: Presentations from the IUIS Rising Stars will be spotlighted aside keynote lectures. Selected from an international pool of new immunology professionals, these stars’ research will provide an insight into the future of immunology.

Keynote Topics
  1. Allergy and Vaccines

  2. Cancer immunology

  3. Microbiome-Immunity-Infection, host response

  4. B cell memory

  5. Treg

  6. Immune sensing of allergens and avoidance behaviour

  7. Cancer immunology

  8. Microbiome, T cells

  9. Immunity to Viruses

Plenary Sessions

Plenary Sessions bring together two to three diverse global experts to share their insights on the state of immunology, followed by a moderated discussion. IUIS 2025 is delighted to have plenary sessions covering Plenary Topics.
