Young NVvI (yNVvI) aims to bring together all young immunologists in the Netherlands and strengthen their research culture and science. In practice, this means that the yNVvI board members are representing all young immunologists in the Netherlands within the general board and program committees of the NVvI as well as in international immunological societies (EFIS & IUIS), and wherever we see opportunities for young immunologists. Moreover, we organise networking and career events at the NVvI Annual and Spring meetings to connect young immunologists in the Netherlands to each other and people in different career stages or trajectories.
