Following the success of the previous editions, VIB is proud to welcome you back to Ghent for the 3rd edition of Type 2 immunity in homeostasis and disease. Set against the stunning backdrop of the Bijloke —a 13th-century architectural treasure— this 2026 conference promises to be a vital meeting point for the international immunology community.

This year’s program brings together world-leading experts and rising voices to explore the latest insights into type 2 immunity beyond its classical boundaries. Across five focused sessions, we’ll dive into:

• Effector mechanisms in homeostasis, repair, and dysregulation
• Interacting cell types and tissue niches
• Neuro/endocrine crosstalk
• Pathology and allergic disease
• Infectious disease, cancer, and fibrosis

As therapeutic strategies increasingly target type 2 pathways, understanding the full spectrum of their roles has never been more urgent. Join us to engage with cutting-edge science, foster collaboration, and help shape the future of immune-driven therapies.
