T cell memory in Capri: a successful course organized by the EFIS-EJI Ruggero Ceppellini Advanced School of Immunology founded by Serafino Zappacosta

Capri, queen of rock, as Pablo Neruda defined it, is the Italian island that hosted the “EFIS‐EJI Ruggero Ceppellini School course on T cell memory” from October 12 to 15, 2018. Since its foundation by Serafino Zappacosta, Antonio Di Giacomo et al in 1991, the EFIS‐EJI Ruggero Ceppellini School was aimed to promote in‐depth immunology studies both at national and international level, and to encourage international exchanges also by supporting participants from developing countries. The aim of the 2018 Course was to give an overview and discuss open questions about development, maintenance, and function of memory T cells. The Course Scientific Directors were Francesca Di Rosa (Institute of Molecular Biology and Pathology, Italian National Research Council, CNR, Rome, Italy) and Stephen P. Schoenberger (La Jolla Institute for Allergy and Immunology, California, USA), and the Course venue was the “Osservatorio Cultura Ricerca Formazione Divulgazione”, a Congress Center owned by the CNR in Anacapri village (Capri island, Naples, Italy).
