Each year the ISI present an award to an outstanding Irish immunologist in recognition of their major contribution to the understanding of immunology and health improvement.

The award, which alternates between an immunologist based in Ireland and an Irish immunologist based abroad, is presented to the recipient at the beginning of their public lecture in the RDS.

The annual public lecture, as organised by the ISI, is given under the auspices of an RDS Irish Times lecture.

Please contact the RDS at science@rds.ie for advance ticket bookings or visit the Science & Technology section of the RDS website for further information on the event.
