Objective of the International Association of Inflammation Societies (IAIS), a non-Profit Organization

• To organize a biennial international inflammation research conference open to all individuals with an interest in inflammation research. Such meetings should be eligible for Continuing Medical Education credits.

• To provide support to national inflammation societies (Members) in organizing satellite meetings and symposia at other international conferences. Such meetings should be eligible for Continuing Medical Education credits.

• To promote communication and cooperative interaction between local and national inflammation societies (Members) throughout the world by:

  • Assisting inflammation scientists to initiate and organize local inflammation societies where they are not currently available, particularly in the developing world;

  • Fostering cooperation with national inflammation societies (Members) for the purpose of organizing high quality international scientific meetings and teaching courses focusing on inflammation research. IAIS will seek reasonable registration, travel grants and accommodation costs for all with reduced rates for graduate students, post-doctoral scientists and Young Investigator Competition finalists. The Young Investigator Competition finalists will be decided by a nominated committee formed for each of the biennial meetings by that particular meeting organizers;

  • Initiating and organizing IAIS satellite meetings in conjunction with international meetings such as IUPHAR and workshops within international meetings with the assistance of the relevant national inflammation society (Member);

  • Developing relationships with outside societies (e.g., immunology, biochemistry, pharmacology and clinical societies).
