Session Types

EAACI Journals Highlights (JH)

Organised with Allergy, Pediatric Allergy and Clinical Immunology, and Clinical and Translational Allergy Journals of EAACI, the traditional “Best of EAACI Journals” session provides the audience with an opportunity to review the best papers published throughout the year.

HOT Topics (HT)

Hot Topic Sessions consist of presentations of the most recent ground-breaking discoveries in the field of allergy, clinical immunology and asthma . Topics are selected close to the time of the congress, to present new and exciting data in a more informal format than a typical session.

Hybrid Interactive Workshops (hIWS)

Hybrid Interactive Workshops are sessions in which speakers share and discuss evidence and experience gathered – clinical, translational and/or basic – in a certain field. In agreement with the current pandemic situation this year IWS will occur in a hybrid format (mixed personal/online). The session room will be set up in a more informal way to allow interactive discussions with the participants. Live interaction with the audience is encouraged, either in person or remote via the live webcasting. This year we implemented several new types of sessions

• Challenges in Allergy and Asthma: World-renowned experts will discuss identified challenges in allergy and asthma and lead you on the way to overcome them
• Hands-on-Tutorials: Provide practical, informative material and have a great educational value. Sessions focused on the demonstration of techniques and practices by experts.
• Improving Your Practice: Practical topics to help your daily practice and bring you accredited knowledge and valuable education.
• Meet the Expert: Sessions designed to highlight the input of experts regarding key decisions related to the practical management of Allergy and Immunology diseases in daily situations.
• Practical Courses (basic): Practical topics to help your daily practice and bring you accredited knowledge and valuable education.
• World Language Workshop: Best science disseminated in one of the world languages: Spanish, Polish and Portuguese.
