Sponsorship Opportunities The International Union of Immunological Societies (IUIS) is a global organization representing the majority of the regional and national societies of immunology throughout the world. Currently we represent 53 countries and 4 regional societies, which span the globe. All of the major powerhouses of Immunology are represented in IUIS along with societies from much of the developing world. The IUIS has many important roles in the global Immunological community and facilitates many activities that are out of the reach of a single society.
