ISI SCHOOLS TALKS

Each year, members of the ISI Committee deliver short talks on various Immunology topics to transition year and fifth year students in the RDS, as part of the ISI's outreach programme.

This series of talks has been hosted in association with the RDS since 2006.

The ISI Schools Talks and ISI Public Lecture Award mark the ISI's contribution to the "Annual Day of Immunology" which is hosted in April each year by the European Federation of Immunological Societies (EFIS).

Please contact Karen Sheeran (RDS) for advance ticket bookings or visit the Science & Technology section of the RDS website for further details.
