70 distinguished participants will be selected and invited to register for the Winter School based on the scientific excellence of their submitted abstracts. The interactive structure of the program includes six keynote lectures delivered by highly recognized experts in the field. Each keynote lecture will be followed by thematically grouped oral presentations by participants, selected for their outstanding abstract submissions.

Additional selected abstracts will be presented during dedicated poster sessions. Moreover, participants will engage in an exclusive Practical Course designed to enhance hands-on learning experiences.

Expected Outcomes of the EAACI Winter School 2026

The EAACI Winter School 2026 is designed to deliver meaningful outcomes for participants by enhancing both their scientific expertise and professional networks:

• Exposure to new research – participants will be introduced to cutting-edge research in Allergy, Asthma, Basic and Clinical Immunology, Immune Deficiencies, Infections, Immunomodulation, Nutrition, Biologicals, and AllergoOncology. This will broaden their understanding of these rapidly evolving fields and expose them to novel concepts, techniques, and approaches.
• Strengthened international networking –  a core outcome of the Winter School is the expansion of participants’ international professional networks. Through both formal sessions and informal discussions, young investigators will build valuable connections with peers and established scientists, fostering future collaborations and encouraging international scientific exchange under the EAACI umbrella.
• Constructive research feedback – participants will receive direct feedback on their research projects. This is a unique opportunity to present and discuss their work with leading experts and fellow researchers will provide fresh perspectives and actionable insights to improve the quality and direction of their ongoing research.
• Hands-On Practical Learning – a dedicated course on advanced technologies will offer immediate, practical benefits. By gaining skills in state-of-the-art methodologies and data analysis, participants will enhance their technical competencies and explore opportunities to apply these tools in their current and future projects. The course will also stimulate collaborative thinking and shared learning, driving innovation and methodological advancements.
• Long-Term Impact – the expected long-term impact includes enhanced research quality, increased high-level collaborations, and broader integration of advanced methodologies into participants’ scientific work. Ultimately, this will contribute to the advancement of knowledge and improved treatment approaches in allergy and related immunological conditions.
