22 Januar 2009 - 22 Januar 2009
Austria
An interdisciplinary group of leading experts from all over Europe will come together to summarize their most important findings in the field of allergic and autoimmune diseases. Particular emphasis will be laid on the potential
applicability of the results in the prevention and treatment of these diseases. This will allow an overall appraisal and a comprehensive synopsis
of past and ongoing findings in the European research area. Colleagues from INCO target countries will be invited to discuss the potential impact of the findings for their countries. Furthermore, the potential for the
identification of (other) protective exposures in these environments where allergies are still less prevalent will be discussed.
The meeting will be open to researchers from industry who are interested to join academics in thinking about the future of diseases such as
respiratory and food allergies in particular and other inflammatory disorders in general.
