Welcome to SOIE-SOIF
Dear Colleagues,
Welcome to the website of the Society for Ophthalmo-Immunoinfectiology in Europe(SOIE)
Although still a young group we have been active since more than 10 years in French Speaking geographical areas, organizing yearly educational events in France, Belgium and Switzerland, the Carraibes, Tunisia and the Indian Ocean. The SOIE sponsored or participated in several uveitis symposia ans courses in Italy, namely Praiano in the Amalfi Coast in 2002, in Reggio Emilia in 2004 and 2005 and in Como in 2005. In 2005 the SOIE, together with the IUSG and the IOIS, organized a uveitis symposium and uveitis courses at the European Ophthalmology Congress SOE in Berlin.
We try to achieve high standards in our educational work without taking ourselves too seriously, especially favouring friendly contacts and mutual help.
In our official medical journal INTERNATIONAL OPHTHALMOLOGY, the International Journal of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, we try to sollicit our members for the publication of their latest clinical and research work, that will be peer-reviewed by a young and dynamic board of reviewers. If you become a member of the SOIE the subscription to INTERNATIONAL OPHTHALMOLOGY is included in your membership dues.
The future events which the SOIE organizes or takes part in, are the Annual Meeting of the SOIE, held in Monte Carlo, Monaco, June 15-17, 2006, that will be combined with the Moorfields Uveitis Course. SOIE will be participating in the 9 th International IOIS Congress in Paris in September 2007.
Uveitis symposia and courses are projected in Tunisia, Turkey and Poland.
In the Jubilee SOE meeting in Vienna, June 10-13, 2007, the SOIE will again organize a uveitis symposium and a uveitis course.
As you see, the group is very active especially in Europe, aiming also at the new countries in the east, where links are beeing established, as well as around the Mediterranean Sea.
You will not get bored in the SOIE, join us as soon as possible
