ISSAID Summer School 2026

Dear Colleagues,

We are delighted to announce the International Society of Systemic Autoinflammatory Disease (ISSAID) Summer School 2026 that will take place on the 01-03/07/2026 in Paris, France.

The attendance at the Summer School will be in-person. The interactive program is primarily aimed at junior physicians, residents, and fellows. During the course, you will gain knowledge on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of systemic autoinflammatory diseases, using a combination of expert-led keynote presentations and case-based discussions of the spectrum of systemic autoinflammatory diseases (SAID) and perplexing presentations of immune dysregulation, autoinflammation, and immunodeficiencies.

Topics

• PFAPA: SURF/USAID
• IL-1 MEDIATED DISEASES
• AUTOINFLAMMATION and VASCULITIS/VEXAS
• TYPE 1 INTERFERONOPATHIES
• SEVERE COMPLICATION OF SAID
• INFLAMMATORY BONE DISEASES
• STILL DISEASE
• DIFFICULT CASES
• BEHCET DISEASE and MIMICKERS

The objective of the Summer School is to support young investigators and clinicians in their training and in the day-to-day care of these complex diseases in practice. Another objective is to promote collaborations, which is a key to improving the care of patients with these rare conditions.

We would also like to take this opportunity to remind you of the efforts of the ISSAID Early Investigators group. Please look out for reminder emails and contact us should you be interested in joining.

We very much look forward to welcoming you at the ISSAID Summer School in July 2026.
