The European Society for Primary Immunodeficiencies was founded first as an informal group in 1983 in Rome, Italy.
These gatherings are composed of scientific lectures on emerging diagnoses and treatment options, interactive discussions, research opportunities, and networking events.
[12] ESID has established biennial Summer Schools to educate young researchers and healthcare professionals in the field of primary immunodeficiency disorders (PID).
The mission of these schools is to “enthuse, inform, and encourage the next generation of leaders in PID practice and research throughout Europe.”[13] The curriculum consists of several days of workshops, discussions, and interaction between participants.
[13] ESID also maintains an online database containing patient data and information meant to be useful to potential researchers.
