The European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI) is a non-profit organisation for European clinicians, researchers and allied health professionals in the field of allergy and clinical immunology, covering asthma, rhinitis, eczema and occupational allergy, food and drug allergy, severe anaphylactic reactions, autoimmune disorders, and immunodeficiencies.
More than 50 national allergy societies are members, representing more than 15,000 people from 124 countries.
EAACI was founded in 1956 in Florence, Italy; the following year, its constitution and by-laws were codified in Utrecht, The Netherlands.
The EAACI organises a four-day annual congress, usually attended by around 7000–8000 international participants.[1] The 2023 congress was held in Hamburg, Hamburg. The association also organises smaller three-day meetings addressing specific areas in the field of allergy,[2] which are usually attended by 250–1500 participants.[3] The association offers training courses on specific topics.[2]
EAACI is sponsored by pharmaceutical and medical technology companies including AstraZeneca, DBV Technologies, GlaxoSmithKline, HAL Allergy Group, Novartis, Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Sanofi, Stallergenes Greer, and Thermo Fisher Scientific.[4]
EAACI is a member of the Alliance for Biomedical Research in Europe (BioMed Alliance) and, European Chronic Disease Alliance (ECDA), and became involved in the activities of the European Medicines Agency in April 2014.[5]
The EAACI publishes three peer-reviewed academic journals:
It also publishes other resources including guidelines and books.[2]
