This week has been all about Young researchers at #COSTAcademy! 🧑‍🔬 On Tuesday and Wednesday we organised a pilot Young researcher training for running #COSTactions. Thanks to Adna Ašić, Daniel Patauner and Amil Orahovac for sharing their experiences from Actions with the participants. 🙌

This week, I had the opportunity to participate in a pilot training for YRI at #COSTAcademy 🧑‍🔬. It was an inspiring experience focused on empowerment and personal growth as a young researcher. A great opportunity for networking and meeting extraordinary people! 🙌

Meet the ySPI team! We are a dynamic group of Portuguese early-career immunologists committed to promote immunology, collaboration and science dissemination.

🌍 Science without borders at #IUIS2025! #SPI & #ySPI members are presenting their work through talks, posters, and oral sessions. 🎙️ Check the schedule in the images and don’t miss it! 👏

Off to @iuis-online.bsky.social 2025? 🇵🇹🔬👩‍🔬🌍 Don't forget to tag us @yspi.bsky.social ! We want to hear all about your Congress experience!

ySPI also seeks to build bridges with our international peers. We are more than a group - we are a growing community, grounded in science. We’re just getting started. Follow us. Stay tuned, and let’s shape the future of immunology together.

We are proud to present ySPI, the newly established youth initiative of the Portuguese Society for Immunology (SPI), approved in April 2025. The ySPI has been created by and for young scientists. Our mission is to connect, support students and young researchers who are passionate about immunology.

🥉 #ySPI won 3rd place in the 2025 #DoI prizes by @efis-immunology.bsky.social & IUIS with our first-ever event! Proud to stand beside amazing initiatives from 🇩🇪 & 🇹🇷, and kudos to all societies and @yefis-immunology.bsky.social who joined this global celebration! 👏 This is just the beginning 💪

We’re inspired by the early-career immunologists from the ySPI 🇵🇹, as they share why immunology matters — for health, science, and the future. 🧠🔬 Their passion fuels progress, and their first meeting marks a big step toward collaboration! 🙌 🔗 #ThankYouImmunology #NeuroImmunology #DayofImmunology
