Its activities include organising annual congresses such as the Wolfsberg meeting and the Allergy and Immunology Update, setting specialist-training and continuing-education standards, issuing special tariff authorisations for certain billing positions, and offering fellowships to young doctors and scientists. Its office is in Bern, and it works with the Fondation ACTERIA, which supports research in immunology and allergology, and with the young immunologists' network SYIS.
