Junior Members Corner



Dear Juniors,

We are thrilled to see the incredible presence of junior members (JMs) at both EAACI and non-EAACI events! The JM assembly (JMA) is working hard to represent all of you, and we are excited to share our recent activities.

In September, several JM representatives attended the ISMA-RHINA 2024 meeting in Helsinki. There, more than 170 participants from over 25 countries met to explore the latest advances in molecular allergology and rhinallergy. The involvement of JMs was significant, with many presenting their research through oral presentations and posters. A highlight of the event was the RHINA Junior session. This session provided practical advice for junior researchers, including strategies for publishing in high-impact journals and the importance of creating clear figures for publications.

Additionally, we participated in the European Respiratory Society (ERS) congress held in Vienna, where we were invited by our Early-Career Members colleagues. This meeting attracted over 20,000 delegates interested in respiratory diseases. Notably, two sessions organized by Early Career members stood out. The first session featured several talks on key aspects of developing a career in respiratory medicine. The second session showcased the traditional “Science Slam”, where five early career members presented their research in an engaging and entertaining manner, making it accessible to a broader audience. During the meeting, we discussed ongoing activities between our two institutions, and we visited the EAACI booth, where we engaged with participants and promoted our initiatives.

Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to seeing you at future events!

Best regards,
The Junior Member Assembly


EAACI Patients Organisation Committee Corner



The POC Reunion in the Annual Congress 2023



The POC has been participating in the EAACI Annual Congresses and focused meetings such as FAAM and PAAM since 2011. When Covid-19 pandemic and strict public health measures started in 2020, POC members continued attending the EAACI events virtually. For the first time in a long while, the POC returned to in-person participation in the Annual Congress Hamburg 2023.

Fifteen members of the committee attended the Annual Congress 2023 in-person. The special session ESS1 which was completely organised by the POC took place on the first day of the Congress with great success. Session was designed to discuss the “Benefits of engaging with patients in clinical trials and decision-making” with different stakeholders.

Giulia Gabrielli from European Medicine Agency (EMA) shared the framework for engagement between the Agency and the patients. Dr Kirsten Perrett, Director of Australia National Allergy Centre of Excellence, shared their experience in receiving the federal funding for allergy prevention and management in collaboration with the POC member Allergy & Anaphylaxis Australia. Susanna Palkonen, Director of European Federation of Allergy and Airways Diseases Patients Associations (EFA) presented their long-lasting track record in participation to research projects. POC Member Mikaela Odemyr, President of Asthma and Allergy Association Sweden shared her experience as a patient representative in participating the research design and planning process.

The session chairs were Carla Jones, CEO of Allergy UK, past POC Co-Chair and Ozlem Ceylan, President of Living with Allergy Association, current POC Chair. The session also had a panel discussion where chairs invited the audience to share their experiences and best practises.

Additionally, POC members Sabine Schnadt (DAAB-Germany) presented “Managing the risk of patients with peanut allergy: the value of thresholds of reaction” in the industry session, Patricia Carmelo and Carolina Olivares (Fundacion Creciendo con Alergias Alimenarias-Chile) had two poster presentations; “Food Allergens that trigger anaphylaxis in children in Chile” and “Adrenaline Auto-injector in Chile, National Survey 2020”.

Several POC members attended the Beat Allergy Run & Walk on the 10th of June. The event was organised to contribute on providing much-needed aid as the collected funds were sent to those affected by the earthquakes in Turkey.

The POC believes the conferences and in-person meetings are useful in staying up to date with new developments in medicine, dissemination of knowledge, enabling interaction with opinion leaders, networking, developing consensus, and adoption of newer ideas relevant to the patient community. Going forward, committee members consider hybrid conventions a decent opportunity to increase accessibility and inclusivity. In 2024, POC is planning to attend the Annual Congress in Valencia and FAAM in Athens.
