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 nearly 10,000 people from 121 countries.[citation needed]
History[]
EAACI was founded in 1956 in Florence, Italy; the following year, its constitution and by-laws were codified in Utrecht, The Netherlands.[1]

The EAACI organises a five-day annual congress,[2] usually attended by around 7000–8000 international participants.[citation needed] The 2019 congress was held in Lisbon, Portugal, with over 7000 attendees.[3] The association also organises smaller three-day meetings addressing specific areas in the field of allergy,[4] which are usually attended by 250–1500 participants.[citation needed]
The association offers training courses on specific topics.[5]

The EAACI publishes three peer-reviewed academic journals:
