Else Kröner-Fresenius Symposia

The symposia of the Else Kröner-Fresenius Research College TWINSIGHT follow a long tradition of immunological symposia in Würzburg and are organised with the assistance of the fellows of the TWINSIGHT Research College. 

The TWINSIGHT collegium enables six selected fellows from different medical fields to receive optimised training in their respective special field with a focus on clinical immunology. In addition, the fellows benefit from a structured training programme that includes an 18-month research rotation outside their own clinic, integration into clinical trials, training courses and intensive mentoring. The aim is to establish a better link between basic immunology and the clinical application of new immunotherapeutic approaches.

As part of the programme, the fellows are involved in the organisation of two symposia entitled "Translational Immunology - From Target to Therapy", which aim to promote networking between the fellows and leading representatives of translational immunology research from around the world, as well as other clinician scientists, and to gain valuable experience in organising a major scientific event.

Following the successful first TWINSIGHT Symposium on 20 October 2021, the series of international Else Kröner Symposia of the TWINSIGHT Research College continued on 14–15 July 2022, 29–30 June 2023, and 8–9 May 2025 at the historic Juliusspital in Würzburg. All events were very well received.

Further information and impressions from the 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2025 symposia can be found under “News” as well as via the links to the individual symposia on the right-hand side.

We are pleased to invite you to the 10th Else Kröner Symposium in Würzburg, which will take place on 13–14 May 2027.
