SUMMARY:13th ISSAID Meeting
DESCRIPTION:13th Meeting of the International Society of Systemic Autoinflammatory Diseases (ISSAID)\, which will take place in Paris from April 8th to 10th\, 2025\, at the “Cité Internationale” – a magnificent haven of peace near many transport amenities where you will particularly enjoy the sumptuous Honorat lounge overlooking a lush green park. \nApril in Paris offers a delightful mix of mild weather\, budding greenery\, and a relaxed atmosphere\, perfect for strolling along the Seine after a day of work. \nThe ISSAID 2025 meeting will provide an opportunity for pediatric and adult rheumatologists\, immunologists\, general pediatricians and internists\, scientists\, and others interested in systemic autoinflammatory diseases to come together to share new findings related to autoinflammation and to learn about recent advances in this field. \nThe ISSAID 2025 meeting will highlight the topic of neurologic inflammation\, and we hope it will facilitate better assessment\, care\, and research on this particularly complex subject. We will  present current topics such as artificial intelligence\, mechanisms of inflammation\, and new diseases. \nThe ISSAID 2025 meeting will promote interactions between old and new generations so that the science of SAIDs can be transmitted and best adapted to societal transformations and the challenges of tomorrow’s medicine.
