Sponsoring activities of the EAMG

  • EAACI
    The EAMG has recently entered into a contract of co-operation with the European Academy of Allergology and Clinical Immunology, the EAACI. The co-operation started on the 1st of April 2005 and is concluded for a period of 24 months.

    The main aim of the co-operation is to raise the awareness of the possible benefits that can be gained with diagnostic and therapeutic allergen products in general and with allergy vaccines for specific immunotherapy in particular.

    The EAMG provides the EAACI with an Educational Grant to meet this purpose.
    Besides, most member companies support and sponsor the EAACI by other means as well.
