The theme of ESID 2026 is: Translational Immunology Beyond Boundaries

The ESID 2026 Scientific Programme invites you to the vibrant city of Maastricht, the Netherlands, where the latest developments in translational immunology will take centre stage. Under the theme “Translational Immunology Beyond Boundaries”, ESID 2026 will explore the broader dimensions of immunology, connecting fundamental research with clinical applications across a variety of immune-mediated diseases.

Our goal is to push scientific and clinical boundaries by integrating insights from diagnostics, therapies, and pathophysiological mechanisms into actionable strategies for improving patient care.

This is your opportunity to join clinicians, researchers, nurses, and patient advocates in exploring the intersections of basic science and clinical practice. Together, we’ll navigate the evolving landscape of immunology, discovering new opportunities to impact lives.
