The big picture

SSI is part of a greater society.

IUIS is an umbrella organisation including the four Regional Federations seen in the picture below.

Some big National Societies such as the American and the Canadian Immunological Societies are linked directly to IUIS. In total there are 67 member societies in IUIS.
