The first Day of Immunology (DoI) was held on April 29th, 2005. It was brought to life by the European Federation of Immunological Societies (EFIS) in order to strengthen the public awareness of immunology as a basis for individual health and well-being. Despite many achievements in basic and clinical immunological research, the importance of this discipline is often underestimated by the public, including politicians and laypeople. Due to the great success of the annual DoI, it is now celebrated globally. In 2006, a prize was awarded for the most original activity under the headline “Partnerships in Education – Bringing Immunology to the Classroom”.
