Dear colleagues and friends,

The ESID 2017 meeting in Edinburgh will bridge the very best and new perspectives on basic and clinical research in the areas of autoimmunity and inflammation in primary immunodeficiency. An exciting programme is put together involving a large number of international renowned clinicians and scientists. The more focused nature of this meeting will assemble leading international experts to present and discuss significant and exciting developments in diagnostic immunology, genetics and immunobiology of human autoimmune and inflammatory diseases related to primary immunodeficiencies, through keynote lectures, symposia, educational workshops, interactive sessions and meet-the-professor sessions.

Our well recognized educational programme on the first day of the meeting will remain more broadly targeted with world-class teachers bringing high quality educational lectures to introduce and teach students and young trainees in primary immunodeficiencies and to offer established clinicians and scientists an up-date of current insights and management.

We look forward to welcoming you to the ancient and historic capital of Scotland, the birth place of David Hume and home of the International Arts Festival, for an inspiring and cutting edge meeting bringing you the latest advances in the field.

With very best wishes,

Andrew Gennery and Adilia Warris
