The HDM-FUN consortium met in Crete on 22-23 June for its final project meeting, held alongside the inaugural meeting of the International Immunotherapy Society for Fungal Diseases (IISFD) from 23 to 25 June. The event brought together pre-clinical and clinical experts to share new findings, discuss future priorities, and strengthen collaborations in fungal immunotherapy. The newly established IISFD ( https://iisfd.org/) aims to advance innovative immunotherapeutic approaches, promote knowledge exchange, and support collaborative research in fungal diseases. Its launch represents a lasting legacy of HDM-FUN and the beginning of a growing international community committed to improving outcomes for patients with severe fungal infections.
