Public Workshop on “Allergies in Europe“ 21 March 2012, 13.00 -15.30
Allergies are the most prevalent chronic diseases in Europe with a >20% frequency. Allergic diseases to airborne allergens have been steadily increasing over the past few decades and an end of this increase is not in sight. Especially the younger generations show a higher incidence of allergic diseases. Thus, by the year 2040, 40% of the population will present an allergic predisposition in Europe.
The reasons for this steady increase are unclear.

This workshop will give up-to-date information about:
Speakers will be high-end researchers and opinion makers in research on allergic diseases.
The project HIALINE will end on 2nd May 2012. The Final Conference will take place in Munich on 29 February - 01 March 2012.
